Tiffs with my manager

I have been working under my new manager since June this year and it is not a pleasant experience by any means. The project schedule is cramped up a lot and on top of it he does a lot of micro-managing which is very irritating.

Had few unwanted incidents and took up some fights during these 3 months. Most famous being the one where he tried his best for 6-7 weeks in a row, creating unnecessary work on Fridays so that I have to work over the weekend and me never showing up.

Other being his quotes like "Are you on a half day?" when I was about to leave for the day at 7 P.M or offering me more work if I was in a jovial mood in office. It is like a cold war.

Up till now only I was the one who had the courage to openly say "no", but in the last meeting I felt the murmurs of dissent among the other team member. I heard the phrase "सर आप टाइम नहीं देते हो " around 5-6 times and felt that I was not at fault. I had worked in previous projects and no lead has ever said to me, "तुम हर बार यही कहते हो की टाइम नहीं है ". I don't like wasting time in office. And I believe that all my previous leads will readily vouch for it.

Whatever may be the case, this project experience is not a good memory.
