Companies need better #communication. Managers should come back downstairs. #podcast #webdev
summary
Managers escalate refusals up a chain until no one actually understands the tradeoffs, so the concrete fix is for managers to come back downstairs and sit with the team to see the real constraints. Decision-making breaks when messages only travel upward; managers should figure out why you made this decision, review the specific tradeoffs chosen, and verify the implementation fits realities rather than assuming instructions are sufficient.
