This is my experience, over and over - to the point where I often get to the point the article states as "just … give up". Then there's the "let's split it up into pieces first". This is where, instead of rolling one 100-sided die, we flip 100 coins to get a better estimate. But my absolute favorite is when the Project Manager asks for an estimate and you give a number and if they think it's too high or too low, they will keep asking until you give them the number they were looking for in the first place. Why even ask? Because now it's your fault if it's wrong! (side note: There are solutions to these things and they are definitely not the right way to do things and are signs of a toxic environment - but there is hope!)
