Ugh, bosses. Sometimes it's also the smallest things.
We have a task he assigns to me and it's very helpful to have the project completion date in it. It saves me time from having to reference archived data to find that, and he has that info on hand when sending the task.
He basically said, you can go find the info, I'm not putting it in.
And then in his NEXT slack message:
"in the (other unrelated task) - moving forward, can you add (piece of info) in there? just saves me having to go to (resource) and find them"
