Oh, there are managers who learned their managing lesson that they should show care for the employees and will tell them this very sentence. ... And at the same they remind you about the deadline twice a day, ask you for an estimate thrice a day, and tell you should speed up because you won't be allowed to miss the deadline. This is worse than just putting pressure on someone. This kind of contradictory orders, of double binds, drives you crazy. Not only are you now afraid of failing the deadline, but you are also afraid of failing the 'hours check', for you know pretty well that they are incompatible. It also shows that the first advice was just fake, they don't give a damn about it, they just read somewhere that a good manager should say that so they say that, but they have no intent to build up the conditions so that it can happen.
