Subject: Duke it out between yourselves
Senior1, you told me to put in Feature1, Feature2, and Feature3. A while later, Senior2 told me to take them out.
Senior2, you told me to put in Feature4, Feature5, and Feature6. A while later, Senior1 told me to take them out.
My job is to implement worthwhile features, not to be an implement in your quarrel over which features are worthwhile to implement. Duke that out between yourselves, and only then give me the ones you can agree on to implement. Thank you.
Your_Manager, I've looked over my job description. It says my job is to implement worthwhile features, not to be an implement in other people's quarrels. Yours says your job is to back me up in situations like this.
Senior1s_Manager and Senior2s_Manager, maybe Senior1's and Senior2's job descriptions need to be clarified with regards to which features each of them is empowered to request or veto.
