Has anyone ever successfully pushed to roll themselves off a project at peak workload without getting fired? How did you go about it?

It probably depends on why you want to roll off. If serious reasons (e.g., family emergency) then leadership likely to understand and be supportive

I want to rolloff because leadership is not supportive haha

I recently joined TW some months back and I dont know why I think have made a wrong choice for myself. I am feeling like I am lost. I am not able to fit in in this high expectations environment. I am used to working in a place where we always worked by taking help from others and here it is sort of assumed that we would be knowing everything right from day 1. Also there is no pairing in my project. Any suggestions on what should be done would be welcome.

My manager had brushed it off as something that would be nice to look into if [insert excuses not to here]. Can’t push it off any longer. I’m afraid heads are gonna roll.Advice?
