How do you deal with a boss that is not very intelligent, but fights you, your team, executive management and project stakeholders on critical system design decisions?

Everyone else is worn out, the project is long overdue and I'm running out of energy, myself. Do I just do what everyone else does and let him have his way and prepare myself to deal with the imminent problems ahead, or do I keep fighting for a well designed system that customers will enjoy using?

    It's a very tangled web that makes it problematic to move him at the moment. Trust me, though, he's on his way out. In the meantime, what's the play?

    @CoffeeNcode sigh... But I'm so tired! 😭😭😭 However, you're right. At the end of the day my name is going to be mixed up in the credits for this monstrosity in the making. 🥊 Let's get it done.

    Find allies. Pick your battles. Be assertive. Don't let him take you down on his way out. Best of luck. Keep fighting the good fight.

    @Nanos unfortunately, though this isn't a start-up - it's a Government entity firing someone isn't a very easy process. In most cases they just wait until your contract ends then they don't renew (this can take several years).
