part of the issue here is the part that YOU set the deadline, not the boss. you added on to the stress level. I think that it is on you to learn to better assess the needs of the company and the amount of time work goals take. it's nice to say things can get done early. everyone wants to impress the boss but not if you set unrealistic goals. that's extra stress you dumped on yourself. yes, boss wants project done. that is his role. telling you to get it done is his role and yours. you told him Friday and so then you had pushed yourself into a space that was difficult.

Perhaps so and you make a good point, but he came back to me the next day and said he put too much on my plate. I was simply trying to do the best job I could and get my work done. What's wrong with that? Nothing. And the truth is, he was pushing me too hard and I do have too much on my plate.
