"What if I got some more people to help out?"
"Five months."
"You guys are too slow. I'm going to give it to team B over there. They say they can do it in two months, no problem."
"You'll be asking us to help out that team in about a year."
It is amazing how little value most managers add.
- madeofpalk 11y agoSounds like you're working in a pretty crappy place. I don't consider my employer to be exceptionally great, but at least there's no managers stupid enough to act like that, or developers to tolerate it.
- kabdib 11y agoOh, that's from very long ago. And most of them weren't that bad. And I have had good managers, really good ones who added value, but only 3-4 really qualify (in 35 years). I work in a flat organization now. No managers at all. So it's an interesting perspective.
