My job can be triggering, I like you Blue am a software dev, we always seem to put of stuff until the last moment. Then we race to get everything done, it is so not good for my psychological condition. Then my immediate manager let go of all of her direct reports and we got this new one. It is not the same. My last manager knew my deal, had a sister w BP2 and worked with me to keep me successful regardless of my mental state. This new guy is all about numbers and streamlining things. I know that it os good to do those things, but a bit of humanity with it would be a nice thing.

Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself Blue, if you feel that you deserve a raise bring details to your next performance review, keep track of all of the time you spend waiting for others. It is a hard field to navigate your way up in also. there are a lot of mid level programmers needed, so sometimes it seems like we need to be superheroes just to get noticed.
