Aug 12, 2020 at 15:40 comment added wberry It really doesn't matter if OP is slow or not. The problem is that the expectation on his productivity exceeds his actual productivity. In Lean Manufacturing this is called Overburdening and is a form of inefficiency in the organization. A junior developer might be much slower than a senior dev, but he's not going to get faster overnight by wishing it. I perceive his actual problem is expectation setting and estimation, not performance. If he is really not performing, but estimating accurately, then management can bring in more team members or reassign work before it becomes a crisis.
