Welcome to devRant! Great lesson learned - get it in writing! I have encountered these situations and and email or doc can come in very handy.

dmferrari748yYou have to ask me for changes using pivotal tracker. If you don't, it didn't happen. Period

azzuwan1818yOne of my weakness is I'm brutally honest when it comes office politics. That manager would not survive that meeting if that was me.

@juzles I told him many times and should him how will changes look like... But he didn't agree

I did myself yelled at my chief in my past job, 2 weeks before I quit their shit. Felt so great.

Always get it in writing or follow up to him in an email about the discussion indicating him that you will get a start as soon as he replies back
Real Story:
Manager: You have to add an extra section in the app to show more details.
Me: We are already showing so many unnecessary details. These changes are not required.
Manager: No !! You have to do it.
Me : Ok !!! So why can't we show it in the section where we are showing the other details. Why make a separate section for it.
Manager : No !! It won't be clearly visible to the user. Just do it.
So I added another section to show useless information that we are already showing it f**king everywhere else in the app.
So I released a new apk next day with the added features.
In meeting, our CTO goes through the app and ask manager....
" Why we have added an extra section for showing same details that we are showing everywhere else ???
Who approved this ?? This is nonsense !!! "
Here comes the fun part.
Manager : I don't know. I didn't ask for it. These changes were not there earlier.
And ask me.
"Who told you to make these changes ? "
I am like... F***k man you a***ole told me to do it even when i told you it will be nonsense.
