In my opinion this is more or less a pretty accurate depiction of the real world. This is how most projects pan out. Managers are not technical communicators, clients want to see results yesterday. Part of our job as software engineers is to bring order out of this chaos. If none of the technical team were able to reign in the management and effectively manage expectations and all that is being done is various devs quitting and complaining about the process then you need to hire someone else. ASAP.
