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

Unfortunately, none of the above will get you a roll off as many projects have such issues. If you've completed two years in the project then you can TRY getting a roll off by saying that you're moving to a different tech or personal reasons. If you're a critical resource then it gets difficult.
To answer your questions. Yes I completed two years in the company and in the project still a few months left. Yes I am one of the critical resource and I handle my manager’s work 🫠 which is bugging me a lot that how will I ask. Only way I see is getting out.
All the best!
