Likely getting PIPed for mental health/burnout. Could use referrals. π
I've been designing for 10 years now. I landed at my current role due to COVID-19 layoffs at American Airlines.
I gave this company too much benefit of the doubt when I needed a job; it's been two years of no progress in getting them to staff product managers or evolve their front-end development practice.
I got promoted into a management role I didn't really want, and lo and behold, they're expecting me to function as a product manager despite a design manager title. I absolutely loathe what my new expectations have become and it's left me underperforming and feeling completely betrayed and mentally burned out.
I honestly just want to land at a good company that isn't broken. I'm doing really bleeding edge stuff with custom web components, but the front-end developers here don't exist or don't want to upgrade their systems.
Please help if you can. π I'm barely sleeping 4 hours anymore and my boss just gave me a performance talk. #referral #mentalhealth

Do you not get that this guy doesn't want a promo or become a manager? They promo'd OP so that they can get OP to do 2 jobs.
Not negating your problems with fighting battles at work. But you need to take 1-2 weeks off on their pay dime, and use that recovery to clear your head and figure out what to do.
I have to reconnect on Monday morning with him and it just feels like I'll either be pipped or let go. They know I'm completely spent
Start applying to outside. Starting fresh at a new position can often help alleviate the situation. All the best!
