It's been one week since spez looked at me Cocked his head to the side and said, "I'm angry" Five days since I joined Lemmy Saying, "Get your API together, come back and see me" Three days since the living room I realized it's the IPO’s fault, but couldn't see it through Yesterday, Spez was blocking me But it'll still be two days 'til he says he’s sorry

Thank you for sharing your story. There’s a couple of things I’d like to share back with you:

1. You’re already on guard to see this coming, so you’re less likely to get blindsided by it. The very fact that you wrote this post is a good sign that you won’t end up getting back in that situation. Give yourself a little credit.

2. Your HR department knows that It’s WAY more expensive to hire someone new than it is to keep a current employee. When I start to feel overwhelmed at work, I remind myself of this fact and I’ll purposely pull back and give myself a break. No one is going to let you go if you miss a couple of deadlines or if your UI isn’t always immaculate.

One of the biggest causes of burnout is doing higher quality work than is expected of you. While it can be gratifying to do excellent work, know that the marathon of having a career is finding what the “just right” expectation is and delivering no more and no less.
