I have pity for you that you have to live with such a shitty product manager.
But don't think it reasonable to paint all PMs with that same brush.
Conversely, I could claim all developers are flat-food-eating basement dwellers who can't communicate with real humans. But that wouldn't be very fair, either.
- pdimitar 9y agoI don't hate PMs per se, mind you, but my experience for 15 years of career is exactly the same. I have stumbled upon exactly 2 out of 70+ PMs that actually valued programmers' opinion and used it to change project roadmaps and schedules. ...and these 2 PMs didn't last even 6 months. Higher management is not happy when its prejudiced idealistic picture of productivity and feature deliveries is challenged by reality. A bit too cynical, I know. But it has been true in the majority of my office / freelance / consultant / remote work.
