when you tell him that you didn't have time to finish something?
Some here advise that you should draw the manager's attention to the fact that you are overloaded and do not have time to finish everything. I don't know about you, but my manager won't even listen to such an excuse.

act as an owner for maybe 2%... ha ha ha
"Lean in" is over a decade old....about right for BNYM to be late to the game on just about everything.
I get “Lean In”. Do we pay consultants to give us he latest business buzz words?
I get “get our folks primed and ready”. Give 110%. Let’s get across the goal line. Have everyone put their nose to the grindstone. We have a limited budget and a tight timeframe. All useful stuff like that. Consistent message in asset servicing tech. Are you listening Joe ?
Most managers are blissfully unaware of what all their subordinates are doing. Mine becomes very angry when challenged. To compound the issue, he continually changes direction arbitrarily which requires constant rework.
Yeah, my toddler doesn't like to listen when I tell them it's bedtime. But the message gets across and they live with it. Your Todd ler will too.
"I’ll get 2% regardless..."
You got 2% ?!?! I'm at a long string of 1% going back for years now.
Who cares if they don't listen? They get the work that you can reasonably do. Just because they want more doesn't mean they're going to get it. Don't people usually learn that when they're three?
I tried that but was rated below expectations.
Mine doesn’t like hearing it. Tells me I need to be more positive & then about a month later admits the timeline & load wasnt realistic.
It’s a continuous cycle. I put in my 40 & log off.
I’ll get 2% regardless of if I put in 40 or 60 hours.
This place is toxic sh*t show. I’m here still out of laziness of looking elsewhere & wfh.
No manager likes bad news delivered at the last minute. Talk to him/her ahead of time explaining why a milestone will not be hit, and document everything.
If it all fails, then maybe it's better to find a new position.
