Well, work conditions are worsening everywhere. Stress it our daily bread now.
Stress == non alignment between responsibilities and authorities, like a dieselgate software engineer being ordered to make it, but s/he will end up the only one in court.
Short anwser,
- realign your sense of responsibility with your authority.
- ask for better work conditions, including time for your family life.
This is calling since it is a global problem for a global solution.
I know I will be downvoted for this (HN censors anything going in this direction), but as I cared: it is calling for a union of software developers.
We all genuinely suffer what you describe and I don't think we worsen. I do think these are our work conditions, and alone we are f*cked.
Your family matters
You matter
Yes work organization in IT is FUBAR and manager don't take responsibility but they have no incentive to respect you more than the shareholders.
Now, you can burn out like a slave or fight for your self.
