Managers when a project is going off the rails:

*crickets*

Managers when something is successfully on track:

THIS NEEDS A ROADMAP, WHERE IS THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS, I DIDN’T APPROVE THIS ACTIVITY.

My manager is constantly trying to micromanage small tasks while also being virtually silent about huge projects that would take weeks to do.

"I should be able to get this done in fifteen minutes."

"We need to create a JIRA story for this task and prioritize it. We need to determine the impact it will have and..."

"Seriously, fifteen minutes. I could do it while waiting for Jenkins to finish a build. In fact I started working on it during this discussion and it's already done."

@EmberQuill Trying to be noisy while scoring easy wins while going stealth mode on the hard ones. Standard managerial peacocking.
