when creating subtasks for my jira tasks, so PM can micromanage me better, i never know if he will criticize it for being "too fine granular, just write it in the comments" or for being "not detailed enough". also, on the one hand he criticizes team members for not having meaningful comments (e.g. "writing documentation"), on the other hand, he criticizes people that he doesn't know what they are doing. also, not to forget that i shouldn't have more than one task in progress ("it should be transparent what you're currently working on"), but then he randomly decides to set one of my tasks in progress even if this breaks his "one task at a time" rule. but i guess it's okay if he does it, because he's boss.

i honestly have no fucking clue how to please this guy lol

    Stop pleasing anyone. Life will become much better

    And to hell with Jira Discipline or whatever they call it. I work on some change. Once it goes live, I create a ticket and mark it completed. Not always but it doesn't make any diff. Work gets done and something is on paper if/when someone needs to know

    Too many fucking non-technical people in our industry..

    Don't tell me how many tasks to work on in parallel - they may be cross-dependent, or I simply need a break from this boring task.
