I was promised -- and signed a contract with that language -- that my job will be strictly technical and I will not be made responsible for project planning, prioritization or coaching.

I have zero problems doing these but I was going through a rough patch and needed a job that was more merciful to my mental health. I was realistic about my situation and communicated the right expectations early. I specifically asked for that, was promised that, signed a contract that said that, and they still turned back on their word (and signature) no later than my 3rd week with them.

In retrospect there were red flags from both sides (from the employer and from myself) but they weren't as obvious to me back then. Oh well, we live and learn.
