Feb 15, 2023 at 21:32 comment added CodeSeeker The manager putting it off over and over is already adversarial. This technique is called an "accusation audit" and is from the Black Swan group. While it sounds bad, and should be used after other techniques, it absolutely puts a fine point on what the person is doing. Pretending that the other person is reasonable (when that is not the case) is actually a quite sound strategy, but it requires confidence and acting with higher status than some people can pull off.

"Stop acting whatever" comes across as hostile. Removing it makes the answer something I could up-vote (and others would be less likely to down-vote).
