You can have unrealistic managers in any occupation.

My point is that it's easier to push back in other occupations.

I strongly disagree. If your manager is being unreasonable, it's wishful thinking to try and reason with him.

Considering the barrier to entry for software engineering is a lot higher than most industries, the notion that our managers are less capable of understanding than in other industries seems misplaced.
