Me: XYZ library just announced that they will stop support for their version 3. I will update our code to use the latest version. It'll probably take 10 hours because we use it pretty extensively.

Manager: Okay. While it's updating, could you work on the ABC feature?

Me: ... no, because I'll be working updating the library.

Manager: Oh so you gotta work on it? I thought it would get updated overnight like my iPhone.

    @Sid2006 I get to deal with this every 2 days. I swear managers should be proficient in "active listening" before they become a manager.

    @TestInProd423 No, manager in tech should make at least one year of development.

    In the furst company I worked, managers were perfectly able to speak our jargon, they were aware of things like differences between vms and containers, what was a CI pipeline, unit testing vs integration testing and how basic web development worked. If a task required TIME, they already knew before assigning it.

    156 years later and it probably will still be.
