How do you maintain performance when your manager keeps pushing?
I’m juggling 2 jobs. Job 2 is fine, though the pay is lower than market. Job 1… my manager keeps pushing me constantly. I just do tickets, boom! performance discussion. I do one rollovers, boom, another performance discussion.
They keep saying I need to be proactive and own the role(like its my fathers company), but there’s never any real space to sit down and actually complete tasks properly. On top of that, my manager once commented when I did a 1 ticket request per day and it sounds too relax and should not take much. and this is a request on prod ticket, needs verifying too. lol. 1:1s used to be biweekly, now they’re weekly, and sometimes I just feel uncomfortable with how much pressure I’m under.
How do you keep performance up in situations like this without burning out?
