That sucks. I had that a lot in my career when I was younger, due to ageism and possibly some racism as well as general assumption of incompetence.
Not to offer unrequested advice, but depending on how busy you are and how many fucks you have left to give, are you able to stand your ground? I assume you’re busy or value your work, otherwise you’d could just coast from confirmation to confirmation.
‘Hi Name. Yes: I’ve checked and rechecked the maths/had the conversations/ sought confirmation. Grateful if you’d proceed with X.’ followed by a ‘Name, As discussed, I’ve double confirmed this. I won’t be doing what you’ve asked me to repeat since it places unnecessary pressure on my team for no impact. Please proceed with X.’. Freed up a lot of my time.
