First step is try to have an honest conversation with your manager. You cannot really win if your manager is your opponent. If you cannot have a positive relationship with your manager, you should look for a position elsewhere.
If your manager continues to be ambiguous and you haven't managed to leave, then I would try to go orthogonal. Achieve something unrelated. It is hard to blame someone who succeeds even if that success is unrelated to the main quest.

- wccrawford 9y agoWe had someone do that, then brag about it during end-of-the-year reviews. The managers were quite upset that the person had spent valuable time working on things that not only hadn't been assigned to them, but also hadn't been brought into the process for scheduling them or even brought to the attention of anyone else in IT. So no, it's not hard to blame someone for working on the wrong things when they should have been working on something else.
