>If you're blindly following "orders" to reduce costs and doing things that push up costs elsewhere then you're not doing a good job.

This is the responsibility of someone above to know whether or not the orders they give should be given. If they need to ask for information from people below them, fantastic, please help them along.

Please don't fall on the sword for incompetent managers.

Yes, and part of that is the people in their team(s) helping them and understanding that they're fallible and may fail to ask a pertinent question. Equally, the manager needs to be open to updates volunteered by their team without a prompt. Ultimately everyone does better if the entire group works together.
