There are no cons to this

Conflicting conclusions/instructions.

In my case neither want to lead which makes it more frustrating

In my case the con is we don’t have a senior. So the manager is acting as the senior and the sr manager is acting as the manager but they’re both on multiple engagements so nobody has time to explain things to me or the other A1

oof..this hits right in the feels

Pair a senior manager with a newer manager who still needs to grow. It only works with the right leveling. You can’t pair an experienced manager with a senior manager unless that senior manager is acting like a director.

Or do I tell them to shove it just like they did to my clients complaint?

I am on an engagement that has 2 managers. I enjoy working with 1 manager. He is very understanding and provides feedback/guidance. However, the other belittles me. She is constantly asking “why” and even when I am not sure of the response she keeps pressuring. She provides no actual information for me to learn from. Not sure if I should correct her on how she should speak to me. Or if I should jump ship & ask not to be on this engagement. still new so i am not stuck on this team yet.
