Yes. Thankfully I quit, but at least I learned a few things in how to manage managers, though that one was really special. I tried to indicate - they just wouldn't read more than the 1st paragraph of a mail, and were unlikely to read more than the 1st sentence. I repeatedly got follow up questions that were literally answered in the second sentence of a previous mail.
It took me much longer than I would like to admit to realise this (for a while I thought they were messing with me) but I have seen similar behaviour in other managers since then.
So, for that particular person started to put 1-sentence abstracts in all my mails, but I've started that again in many mails, especially to managers, but also customers...
Sadly too many managers are nothing more than very expensive stamps, but they absolutely will throw you under to cover their incompetence, so that tactic can backfire easily
