I'm about to quit my job just because that, some small irrelevant details that are always the reason for long debates and pointing finger at me why it is not in the right look.

Had a really confusing conversation with my team lead a few weeks ago about me having an issue with how unaware the PM is to technical details and he asked why a PM should know those things and I'm honestly incredibly confused "what do you the people dictating our missions and timeline don't need to know how difficult those things are?"

I quit my job last week because of this. And went to a competitor. My boss could not for the life of him understand that anything was his fault.

Just keep in mind that it will likely be the same way wherever you go.

Yeah... At least I will have some time to recharge my mental wellbeing batteries.

Startups are cool because there's usually less micromanaging, since they're always in a rush to get stuff out and be relevant, but on the flip side, wearing 10 hats also isn't super fun lol

Why don't you just get rid of your boss? Plant some drugs in their car
