I don’t understand why he/she needs to sugercoat things so much and do things over lunch, drinks/beer? Imagine this is a female lead asking her male boss out for drinks so she can be the casual bearer of bad news?
That’s just bull.
If your organization isn’t willing to get real and is blaming people instead of processes, it’s the wrong org to be.
Just say things as they are. I’d just raise this in my 1:1 with boss and boss’s boss. “It’s highly likely that we’ll miss X deadline, because of Y reasons. Here are some options we have. Either cut scope to meet deadline, pull in more resources for Z work, that can be parallelized, or push back the deadline.”.

- s73v3r_ 8y agoYou're not technically wrong, but most of us don't have the good fortune to work in an organization where we can "be real". Yet, we still have to put food on the table. You, in the organization you work in, might feel comfortable going to your boss and boss's boss, but as you read in the parent comment, I hope you understand that not every organization is that way.
