Asking manager a release?

Need guidance from fellow experienced folks or who have done this before. What are the proper reasons to ask for a release. My reasons: - work is too hectic and repetitive and no growth technically (mostly support and maintenance once in a blue moon some dev sort of work). - Client is mismanaged they dont know what work is important and come with multiple deadlines even before prod day. - No proper KT is given when assigning a new task. - In the name of agile its kanban board and not jira (given a sprint task to be finished in a day or two and new tickets pulled in between). - Manager swaps ticket often in between sprint. - Manager is mostly away even on standups or client calls so we manage faking they worked and we manage in behind scenes. - Due to too many upcoming requests in tight deadlines from last 3 months wlb is miserable and have worked two weeks without an off once and night shift charges given is 220 only per day. Now I need your all guidance on what can be a better approach or how to improvise

Struggling with Credit Thief Daily😒

I have an onshore counterpart, one level above me. We two are setting up the project and conducting workshops. The problems I have are: 1. I work in the B shift from 2 PM to 11 PM since the client is in PST. But i login usually at 10-11 2. My onshore counterpart works in EST but logs in very late. 3. Although I work in the B shift, I often extend until 1 AM because I am preparing all the PPTs and doing research. I have to explain everything I do daily for 2-3 hours. She schedules meetings during the PST afternoon to present that work. 4. It has been 2 months of the same routine. In every weekly stand-up, she gets appreciation as if she did the work and research, without giving me any credit. 5. I can escalate the issue, but no one will listen because she has been here for 12 years, whereas I joined a year ago. She has strong networking with the leadership, which I lack. 6. I can ask for release, but I like this project and have provided solutions for some challenging gaps. I feel very bad because I work for 16-18 hours per day. She could schedule the meeting in the PST morning, but she purposely schedules it in the PST afternoon and gets the credit for my work. PS: i saw her creating a transcript to read during the meeting Do people like this really exist? If you have personal commitments, why come to work? Don’t you have a conscience and feel guilty about stealing credit for others’ work? Nowadays, there are many posts related to stopping gender-based reservations. Is it because of situations like this?
