That's about the experience I had at every job I've had. This is why burnout is so bad in the industry. It's a creative job, that doesn't happen on a schedule but the 'managers' cannot allow flexibility. They need 'control' to feel as if they matter at all (They don't).

Yeah! And that thing about managers is so true. I’ve started adding redundant things to my design , because I know something always needs to be scoped out by managers no matter what.
Like if I present a design with just an input field and a button the response is:
“Yeah, we can’t build that. Let’s remove the button.”
