I really hate my manager, they ask me for things last minute at 430 pm. They don’t know the business logic they completely botch scoping of tasks. They are unwilling to learn the business and they are using all my ideas/work and not mentioning me and giving me exposure to the business. I am quitting this firm shortly and this is the main reason . Who has shared a similar sentiment.

You need to shift the relationship from being told to do something, to being asked. One way to do this is to offer to provide an estimate of work effort, and then if this task then not that task, so they must choose what is most important. Absolutely insist they respect your WLB. Address this head on and have it documented in case no change, in case having to escalate further. The only silver lining is that you are learning of a behavior you wish not to emulate so when you are a leader you can be one that is respectful of your teams time.
