If someone is wondering what gaslighting looks like, this post is it.
If you, a "leader", are asking people to "get it done" but you simultaneously keep roadblocks in place or cannot remove them, YOU need to get things done before asking others.
E.g. if a manager asks you to finish something by the end of the week, but the devs don't have a reasonable development environment to test things out, it is up to the manager (and the layers of "leaders") who need to figure out how to clear the roadblock. There is no point pushing more on reports when you yourself cannot "get it done".
