Has anyone tried taking a serious task at work less seriously?
Just for better mental health. Because like sometimes managers or similarly ranked people, would make it seem like everything is important and needs to be done by xyz timeline. Have u tried to not take it seriously? How did it turn out for u?

If only the manager is involved we try to give our explanation and try to increase the timelines. If VP's are involved they won't understand the problems developers face. So We try our best

I always explain why a thing would take X time and why it can't be compressed into Y time unless we reduce scope.
If they still however need you to do X, then weekend sacrifice is necessary. If however this happens often, you better leave the place.
