Yea this comes to the poor alignment point.
I recently left a company where I led a team in building a high quality and very complex product but the job felt super easy.
Now at my new gig I'm managing a new team where the product is garbage and the team is very junior. Neither of these are the cause of my overwhelming workload as the ultimate product is very low complexity. It is instead the horrible alignment of various personalities that results in an inconceivable amount of meetings and daily shifting priorities.
