Manager : why didn’t you reach out more when you had unassigned days?
Me : I am ahead of schedule for my billable hours for the year and when I worked 3 back to back weekends nobody reached out to take some work off my shoulders? Those unassigned days were already been worked.
Manager : *silence*

Well done.
Many toxic "leaders" think they own their team's life. I bet they dont allow you to put in the timesheet the total hours you work...

How does this work tho? At my firm you cant just have unassigned days where you dont work regardless of how much you worked in total unless you took TOIL

It’s pretty simple. You bill the admin or unassigned charge code and keep it moving. It’s not TOIL. It was understaffed and I acting as senior and as manager on the project. I’m not the Salvation Army. It had to be done to get the project, however their is an expectation of being made whole when things slow down

Sounds like you should have communicated you were going to take those days and cleared it if you weren't taking pto

How strange. Director says, I need X by X date and then he leaves me alone and I get it done. Maybe he lets me work independently because I don’t need hand holding and micromanagement.

Do you have 15 pieces of flair?

Once the young adult generation really gets engrained into the workforce, managers shouldn't be surprised that treating someone this way will make those folks quit. They aren't boomers that will put up with a crappy employer for 30 years

Do you not get compensated for weekend work like allowance or days off? If not, that’s a terrible company to work for. Also, it appears your manager is clueless of the extra time and effort that you have put so far for your project. Do you know why is that?

Apart from all this, your response could have a little bit nicer than this. It has a level of arrogance in it and if your manager is going to do your year end, he/she might downgrade your rating.
