> "who told you to do this, where is the JIRA that described this work?" My standard joke is: We must be doing incredibly well if you have time to ask me that. Ideally the standard joke is followed by a [long] list of things they should or could be working on and then I force the conversation into that direction. If they ever bring it up again I remind them that they had already mentioned it and change the topic to actual work again. I've had a good few burst out in laughter going though the process specially the 3rd or 4th time.
