I've had this problem in a few workplaces but the worst had to be when one of those bosses was so incompetent that she never asked for clarification when the big boss said things. It got to a point where she was directing the staff in the most nonsensical way that I flipped out and left. After spending most of the day explaining to her that she had misunderstood and I was certain that the big boss actually meant something different because my real boss had mentioned it in passing I just kind of lost it. I've never actually done that before. Granted the next day when my real boss and the big boss asked me wtf happened I still got told off for not following direction from dumb boss but it was worth it.
