How do you deal with/deliver feedback to a manager that tells the team to do one thing and then a week later says they had told team to do something else? Resulted in rework and tighter deadlines

Write a recap of what they tell you the first time and send it to them right after they tell you. And then when they said "I said something else" show them the recap lol

To add to my recap comment - the rework will probably still exist. But at least you have your bases covered if they're criticizing based on the quality of work on the tight turnaround due to them wanting rework

like

Yeah, that makes sense. Seems so tedious ugh. But less tedious than the rework I suppose.

I usually follow-up with an email that had stated expectations and gently say, “Perhaps, there was some misunderstanding. It would be great if we could review expectations, again, to ensure we meet the goals.”

Combine EY1 and c1 feedback

Bad advice by others.... what are the chances the manger already knows? Probably high. It’s a bit of a thing in the business world embraced by hacks that you should never admit making bad leadership decisions. Since the guy is a hack, unless you are invaluable, you are just likely to make yourself a target. The think you are just going to have to take it, and then when given the choice, don’t work for him

Before you do the work

KEEP RECEIPTS.

Then slap ‘em on that nut job afterwards.

C1...yeah, because during during the performance evaluation process you are in the room and get to defend yourself when thrown under the buss.
