Happens to me all the time, I also feel powerless in many situations. How do I handle? Well, I try as much as I can to fix the issue by spending countless of hours on it. At some point I reach to my team for help and now the responsibility is shared: if we can't manage to fix the issue we try with another approach.
Managers usually like to say "we are here to clean up your way from distractions so you can focus on the important stuff". Well, most often than not what I need help with is with stuff like OP described... ironically managers can't help with that (they help with stuff I usually do not need help with).
- GianFabien 5y agoI have come across too many managers who fixate on a goal. Uusually set with too short a timeframe and insufficient budget (both money and resources). Then they constantly harangue the team to deliver on their expectations. Generally, such managers are trying to impress their higher ups with their management talent. The only solution I know of is to look for a new job. At the same time push back on the demands. Helps to have no concern whether you get fired or end up quitting before the new job comes through.
