I don't need my manager to know how to do my job.
I just need my manager to know they don't know how to do my job and stop telling me how to do it.
Tell me what needs to be done. Trust me to figure out how.

But agreed that your manager should set goals rather than plans. Fun fact, at FB at the same time all ICs came up with their own goals rather than these being passed down from management.
