I don't really have the choice. There's not a lot of good developers available here, so management seems to be stressful when you can do the work yourself faster.

It's either I spend 3 days negotiating a 3 day extension to the deadline, or I work on pointless things that a manager didn't remove from the list. The latter feels more productive, and pays slightly better, without the prestige.
