| May 5, 2022 at 14:44 | comment | added | BittermanAndy | I usually go with 1. "It has been decided that...". Did you decide it? Maybe. Did your boss decide, and you have to go along with it? Maybe. But really it's neutral and non-identifying. It's just been decided . The decision has been made. Now we deal with the consequences of that decision. | |

| May 5, 2022 at 14:34 | comment | added | 白迪孜 | @sf02 well, I think it would sound really bad to my superior to say something like "The boss decided so and so" and when confronted again, say something like "Yeah, I agree, but the boss said, what could we do?" It may even sound bad to my interlocutor. But again, let me know if you agree or not. | |

| May 5, 2022 at 14:31 | comment | added | 白迪孜 | @JoelEtherton no, I'm a technical IC. I work in that grey area where I may have to make decisions from time to time, and it is not clear when I'm the one to call them. Not an ideal scenario, but a real one nonetheless. | |
