Yeah it really looks like you need a better job. You don't owe anything to the employee.

> who don't understand or try to empathize with engineers, and they give ridiculous timelines for project completion.

I'm sure they are out there. I'm sorry to say but I think the problem is also that people are willing to put that time and effort in. As long as he has people who are still willing to do it, he's gonna make his own interest.

Now, I understand it could happen one time, but if it happens frequently, there is definetly something very wrong about it.

Run away. Don't look back. Be happy.
