[F]My master tub drain drains slow regardless what I use ( I am a maintenance supervisor so I do have resources) but I really feel that there is too much water pressure so it is coming in faster that going out. What do I do?

Could be hair in the drain, or a vent issue.

Remove overflow cover plate. Block overflow pipe with a wet cloth. Pack it in as much as you can to seal.
Run about 1/2" of water in tub around drain and plunge. Plunge rapidely noting that the suction of the plunger is more effective than the pushing.
