Quite insightful, and I'm sure what you mentioned is born from experience. However, it does need a followup article on how to handle such situations effectively when in an organization where managers are piled with more work than they can handle, and upper management does not allow for sufficient time to get to know the team and guide them. Examples of real-world situations where such problems were encountered and how they were solved would really help. I've written a lot about eye strain, on Medium, and am unable to find a job where managers do anything to accommodate my inability to strain my eyes too much. In an interview with a director, I said I can use the computer for only 6 hours a day, and he encouragingly said "let's see if we can push is to 8 hours". I didn't join the company. In another company, at every interview I clearly mentioned I'd be unable to use the computer for too long, and the CEO even told everyone that I educated him about eye strain, but they put me in a mission-critical role that required being available at any time of the day or night, and the amount of work piled onto me was more than I could handle. I eventually had to quit. How is anyone supposed to manage a team well in such high-pressure environments where higher management is being taught to extract the most out of people, and they do it in a way that leads to burnout.
