I used to work at a small print shop. My manager was always in a bad mood and anytime I asked for clarification, he'd sigh like I was ruining his life.
One Monday, I asked him if I should prioritize a client's urgent order or finish the routine batch. He snapped:
"Figure it out yourself. You don't need to run everything by me"
So I did.
I prioritize the urgent one, delayed the regular orders. Turns out, the delayed ones were for his friend's real estate flyers. He came storming in on Wednesday asking why they weren't done.
I just said "I figured it out myself. Like you said".
After that, he started saying "Double-check with me first, just in case"
Got it, boss.
