In real-life today, there should only be ONE way of conveying this to your management, AND only ONE way that they should convey back to you - via email. Send the request via email with (1) server acceptance of your email, and (2) open receipt acknowledgement of your email. If your manager decides to NOT acknowledge, you can always state that the server had received it, thereby putting the blame onto your manager for not having acknowledged your email. If you manager decides to respond in-person, kindly state that, unless you've received the response via email, nothing will be done. This is the ONLY way of ensuring that you've done your due diligence - which is unfortunate, as most managers today really don't know how to manage at all - they're TFIs.
TBH, it is sad that today's style of management is left to the line-level worker...and not the manager. The question is - as a manager, why are you employed? 🤔
Management should ALWAYS be held legally responsible since they're the ones who are the decision-makers, even if it's performed at executive levels. The line-level workers are only held legally responsible ONLY if whatever management directives were never met. If an email is provided that clearly identifies those specific directives, then the onus falls onto the manager...NOT the line-level worker or employee.

Document³ all such instructions. It's fun watching the facial expression show when your implied answer is, "You told me to."

This has been the story of my last few weeks!
Today's comic hit some tired nerves!
Too real, it always brings up an issue
Lol
Sounds about right...
As you’ll note in the timestamped decision log, you said, and I quote, “That’ll never happen. I don’t care…” 😈
