Do you feel like your boss is trying to set you up to fail or getting rid of you?
First up: The "Mission Impossible" setup. Cutting deadlines in half with zero training isn't a challenge—it's Squid Game energy. They are building a case to show you the door.
*Hard truth: Your work doesn't speak for itself. People speak for your work.*
