I think it also depends on toxicity of the organization. My untested hardware was sent to production line in the factory elsewhere. I was telling to every manager I could, not to do this. So “no” does not work. I was told, there will be second developer one day, but it didn’t happen. Manager of other group sees me declining and invites to go for lunch together. But he can’t help since my manager and division manager are more buddies than professionals working together. I was trying to make longer breaks to recharge working only 4 days a week, but this was canceled a day after I send proposal how to test hardware. I also got new table - a door place in open space office where I got distracted every 3 minutes. Basically my all time gets wasted sitting there. Last but not least, there will be committee next year to review everything I did in the project and do the great blaming fest. It is believed, that this will help to find the bugs I made due to my incompetence.

I read this and it does not sound real. To avoid burnout I simply need a new job. I also packed my all personal belongings and am ready to hand in my notice anytime I see it’s too much. Better unemployed for some time than mentally broken.
