20 something years. This very thing happened to me quite often. Especially when management moved or was promoted. It's called laziness. I thing you just have an intellectually lazy boss. He wants his ass covered also. Just in case there is a problem he can blame others for not having a particular detail being communicated to him. Or her. If you do a report I would follow up with an email that says. Per your instructions, here are just the bullet points. That way you have a trail. This technique kept me out of trouble more times than I can count.
