Here's how you can handle a boss who frequently shifts priorities and expectations.

Dealing with a boss who changes their mind a lot can be tricky, but here are some tips. Be ready to switch tasks and ask which one is most important. Talk to your boss often to make sure you understand what they want. Write down changes so you don’t forget. Use lists or a calendar to stay organized. Take breaks if you feel stressed. If you’re unsure, ask your boss how you’re doing. Being flexible and communicating well will help you handle changes better.

It can be super frustrating, but priority shifts aren't always your boss trying to make life harder. They get new information that changes things. Plus, they may not fully grasp how much time/effort certain tasks they assign take you. It's a good idea to give your boss estimates of timeframes - and to clarify priorities before beginning. Your boss probably has insight into what's more or less likely to change.

They will have tons on their plate, and it's upto you to clearly communicate, follow up and provide them with a "previously on" talk.

Make sure you are on the same page as your boss; tasks that require the utmost priority should be tackled first If for any reason you are unable to meet with tight deadlines; be sure to communicate ahead of time
