This. It’s the presumption of a done/deal with no comment period. If it’s coming from C-Suite, then yeah, I’m their whipping boy unless they are telling me to do something extremely stupid in an area where I am the subject matter expert (then I just get it in writing that this is a terrible idea that I advised against and do it anyways because they own me). However, what I’m referring to are the individuals that have no grounds to assume they can issue me any sort of directive.
