You have a strange idea of what talking normally is. Fears, concerns, having different priorities, working under their own deadlines, and so on are all normal

You have a strange idea of what talking normally is. Fears, concerns, having different priorities, working under their own deadlines, and so on are all normal for other people.
- Jensson 5y agoBut a manager dumping those feelings on their developers is still toxic. They are coming from a position of power, asks the technologist to solve a problem, all the while demanding the technologist assures the manager that the technologist will do the job and that now the technologist will ask questions so the technologist can perform the job well instead of just wasting the managers precious time. I don't see how anyone can think this situation isn't toxic.
