My direct manager definitely gives preference to my well being. I'm in talks with various parties to try work out where the disconnect is. I have identified one definite disconnect that is at least partially responsible for the current situation, which I intend to address in my 1:1 this week. I haven't had a skip level 1:1 yet, but as a team we had an AMA with our skip level and skip-skip level managers and were told by the skip-skip level manager "we don't have people for you". I feel like this is such a common theme I see inside tech companies that I wonder why engineers tend to accept the status quo and don't push back on it as much as they ought to. I think since getting burned by it the first time I have developed a lot of skills/expertise to detect the conditions under which it happens and since becoming almost hypervigilant about it my calibration differs so drastically from my peers that I think people just think I'm nuts.
