What he said, combined with what you said: Low budget operation and the fact that you've been there 3 years indicates that you should probably just find another job. These disconnects happen all the time (and I've been subject similar criticisms many times myself) and ultimately there's just not much you can do about it. People are people, they have different perspectives (and experience gaps) that's they just the way they are. Meanwhile - since you're pretty much forced to "milk" them for a paycheck until you can find a job under non-sweatshop conditions - consider: (1) doing a few keyword searches on "strategies for surviving dead-end / underfunded projects" (like ways to deliver "just enough" value to meet a deadline - now that you no longer need to care about the long-term, now do you?) and (2) engaging a friend (if you have one) or if not, seriously considering hiring a therapist for 5-10 hours to bounce your frustrations off. Really, there's no need to run your health into the ground (and job-related stress can be very toxic) just because you have a weak manager or their business isn't doing very well.
