Some people won't like it, but some will. I've know managers that will use it as a test, they'll throw work at you to find your breaking point. Because at a certain point in your career, you NEED to know your limit and how to vocalize that.

It's not a good practice, granted, but it does happen in the real world.

Learning to say "no" is a great way to designate your boundaries and limitations.

Yeah, I've had managers do that to me early on in my career. As a manager now, I would never do that to someone. It's a managers responsibility to uphold best practices.

you NEED to know your limit and how to vocalize that.

Very true! 👍
