>I would agree that mentioning to a manager that you’re finding something aversive is basically fine as long as you’re more looking for support than reassignment.
I agree with this. Managers can do some productivity/performance coaching and find ways to help employees, although as an employee I wouldn’t want to be the one who required the MOST help, unless I was brand new. And “help me find a way to work around this problem” is going to come off a lot better than “please reassign this because I don’t wanna.”
