interesting - how have you managed to deal with those? especially the fuzzy brain syndrome? has it also affected how performance and reporting is perceived by the managers? since moving goalposts and unclear agendas would also mean that it would affect performance in reports and project reviews

There is no cure for fuzzy brained managers, especially if they are friends with the upper managers.

I simply took minutes in meetings and presented requests to be signed by relevant managers. For the most part they declined. But I filed them anyway. Being a contractor sooner or later I declined to renew / extend my contract and moved on.
