I just got yelled at for being proactive at work and working on stuff in my downtime to complete something before our estimate and improve our product. Apparently that’s a big no-no. You’re not supposed to ever finish before the estimate you give nor finish past the estimate. You must work the exact amount of time that was estimated. This wasn’t even my estimate. I have a much faster estimate and my boss basically doubled it, which I was like fine, sure, but I’m getting blamed for the estimate being so long now.

I’m so done with my job. If the job market weren’t a literal dumpster fire right now I’d just leave. I just set my LinkedIn to “Open to Work”. Sorry I have a good work ethic. Corporate politics is utter bullshit.
