My boss was thrown a HUGE curveball, and everyone had to stop what they were doing and be put on this one single project...
But the main person of the project retired, leaving only new people to the group to work on it, and they don't know the tools well enough yet.
And us that are being pulled off other projects, aren't getting a full idea of the requirements needed so we don't know what needs to be done or how everything contacts.
My boss is getting frustrated, but it's like, you're not communicating with us ... you're trying to do this to fast.
That makes a bit more sense now, even if it’s still frustrating. It sounds like he’s under a lot of pressure and trying to keep control by centralizing everything but that approach ends up bottlenecking the process and keeping everyone else in the dark.
It’s tough when communication gets limited, especially after a big team shift like that. But you’re doing the right thing by staying aware of the gaps and trying to find ways to work through them. If nothing else, keep documenting what you can and staying clear on your end.
@mindstruggle Yeah, I think I understand where he's coming from, but whenever he asks for something lately, it's like, your request isn't making sense.
And team members have to talk to each other to figure it out, or let two team members work on that tone project, or the boss and excel teammate.

@mindstruggle You deserve better - I feel bad for your coworkers that report to him as well. Here's prbably what everyone in your department is thinking:
