Where I work I feel stress/burned out. A lot of it is the under currents of the culture where I work. There is a lot of passive-aggressive behavior. Some senior devs are outright sarcastic and hard to deal with. I try to avoid or minimize the cross over of my work with those people. Sometimes I engineer solutions or try not to involve certain people so I can get things done quicker, in line with expectations of time taken which is always less than you need to do it properly.
I am expected to get up to speed with things in a nano-second, work on spaghetti code and break down months long projects into sub-day chunks and provide deadlines (with justification based on a plan) within a few hours. Then when inevitably the plan slips there are signals of 'disappointment' and 'how can we improve / move faster' next time.
We have a process management system that is in practice worse than any other Scrum / Waterfall I have worked with. Think getting an algorithm to schedule your work, but your boss has other ideas, but you need to keep the algo AND your boss happy.
[Insert 1000 other rants here]. You can imagine.
Anyway solution is simple. I am looking for a new job.
