How to tell my manager politely to fuck off?

[autumniscomingg]

So there’s many occasions where he throws shit over the fence.

Anyway there were 5 pieces of work that needed finishing (amongst our many other different projects) and he split it and took 3.

I’m now being chased up for 2 he didn’t do and so I emailed saying please can this confirm with this person. He’s now asked me to pick them up.

i have my own workload, I did my share that he split and already wasted time trying to figure out what he’d bothered to do.

How do I say no?

I’d say “Manager, thanks for sending this today. No problem, I can get these done by X date” and choose a date after the deadline. If it’s an internal person chasing copy them in. If he comes back and says “but deadline is y” then you firmly say: “you only gave them to me today, based on my workload this is the best I can do, if you need them done sooner someone else will have to take it on because I’m not in a position to meet that deadline”
Obviously easier said than done.

As in, of the original 5, he took on 3 and has only actually accomplished 1 so is leaving 2 to you when you and others have already done another 2?

Then I would push back and say that "As agreed, I/X did A and B. You had agreed to do C, D and E. I also have F, G, H, I and J to complete by X dates. So while I can help out with D or E, I won't be able to get to it until Y date."

This is where you ask him to help you prioritise your workload, I can do these 2, but what should I drop/delay instead of all the other things I'm also trying to deliver?

Yep.put the onus back on him.
