Yea definitely agreed, happened in the start up I used to work where the manager had no clue of what UI UX actually comprises and constantly set very unrealistic deadlines. I often would illustrate what a realistic timeline would look like and how the deadline was impossible and unnecessarily stressful ending up with bad results. Sometimes having a talk about it usually fixes things since they might actually be ignorant of what a realistic deadline would look like, it's not just a few buttons and text fields on a frame in the end of the day.
