Something feels odd about this article, like the examples don't really make the point or the framing is off or something. I guess I would try and rephrase as "you want to work way X and your manager wants you to work way Y." I think you have three basic options: say yes, say yes with reservations, say no and quit/get a different manager. There are all kinds of culs-de sac this odd formulation leads us down: who's right, is this a subjective relationship problem or an objective performance/personality problem, etc. I guess I would add that, if you're a manager and something like this happens to your team members, try and take care of everyone? There isn't always a solution that does that, but the article outright says only the team member pushing for higher performance should lump it. It feels better to make everyone lump it equally haha.
