>if you’re in an adversarial relationship with your manager Where did you get this idea?

  There’s an “if” in front, to help people recognize that my comment applies to healthy relationships and not unhealthy ones. No comment on your relationship with your manager.

  The fact that you implicitly assume that sharing information with your manager means they are failing to do their job is probably indicative if a bit of an adversarial attitude. At least it also came across like that to me. The way I see it, most managers I've worked with have been stretched for time and me giving information will only make things better for me and my team because the quality of their help will be better, regardless of how good they are at their job. I agree you should not try to push through a bad situation, it really depends on the people involved and it's hard to give generic advice.

    I don’t think it really matters what your relationship with your manager is. Doing these things is just professional, regardless of the effect. Integrity is who you are when nobody is looking, and all that.

      It's also a really effective way to influence things in your own self interest.
