Boss: this is different from the old console I don't like it

Me: but this has been approved by product management and the team already made estimates and committed to the feature

Boss: Well this needs to change, our existing users will not like it

Me: This is far from agile to be honest, and the change came from user feedback analysis

Boss: You are not doing your work *swears and curses* this is against the team direction!

Me: then why was this committed on this sprint? All I did was facilitate the needs of the team to proceed development.

Boss: *runs out office and starts calling other bosses to boss around*

Runs in 5 minutes later, saying we are not allowed to destroy a feature with enhancements like this.

Me: *Infinite facepalm*

    How do you stay calm in the face of such irrational and childlike behaviour?

    Remind boss that change is good. Also, Agile has no concept of "boss". Tell him that he can sit down with the PM and convince him...

    @helloworld well I did, that specific boss is like a toddler in a candy store not getting any candy from mom and thereforeโ€‹ stomping its feet in anger to get what it wants.

    He didn't even have the guts to apologise for his behavior, the egocentric asswipe ๐Ÿ˜

    @karma classic PHB. Manage by delegating upwards, and inventing fake crisis for him to solve. gets him off your ass to do your job.
