Maybe they aren't incompetent; that's a story we tell ourselves. The choices, as I see them: own responsibility for making sure the recipient understands our communications. If they don't, that's on me. If they do, but don't do what I want... I can either accept their decision or move on. I know changing jobs is hard, but all I can control is to communicate better (differently! and with compassion/empathy!) or leave.
