doesn't sound like much of a problem to me. i don't think i've ever really had a bad manager who wasn't also an asshole. but if i was in that position, i might ping him/her on the low in private, just casually, not necessarily in the scrum/in front of the whole group. "Hi Bob/bi, on that new feature, did you want me to get an estimate of how long it might take to do before we promise that it will be delivered tomorrow? I'd be happy to do that now, and then going forward for any other big features related to my area of expertise." just a bad example.
