If you have a scenario where a couple of devs are trying to make a decision about how a particular thing should work, and a manager comes in and shares their opinion and everyone basically just defaults to “okay, since the manager said to do it this way, let’s do it this way.”
I suppose it’s not an explicit ultimatum, but perhaps it’s a silent/implicit ultimatum.
Can you expand on this? I’m curious.
Sure!

That does sound brutal!
I have worked in a team, where the manager (oblivious of the technical complexity of the PR) just announces, "this should be 'done' by the EOD"
