That sort of things happens a lot, but it’s also when you inform your manager. They may say to go ahead and adjust the schedule or they’re in a better position to politely tell the other manager that their failure to communicate this earlier is their problem and it’ll take as long as it takes.

Either way, you’re covered and do whichever work is appropriate.

She and my tech lead were out of office. I probably could have got in contact with them but I was new to the team, assumed the angry manager was right, that the work was urgent, and didn't want to rock the boat. So I just did it. Today I'm far more aware of how full of shit some of the other team leaders are.
