Here's what is likely to happen. You'll work nights and weekends to get this ugly baby over the line, if you are successful you'll have no meaningful change in compensation but the same is true if you don't deliver it on time.
The rewards have been nearly fully allocated into upper management caste over the past generation or so, but with no carrot they can't use the stick as much as they used to.

- misja111 4y agoNot just that, the next project will be just as tightly planned because last time it also ended up fine. And probably your project manager will get a nice bonus for getting things delivered so he can continue setting the example for others.
- zero_shift 4y agoExactly. It's a question of incentives. What pain does the management layer feel if developers keep pulling rabbits out of hats to get these badly resourced projects over the line? None whatsoever, only the rewards, so they'll do it again. Sometimes, to save a piece of wood, the rot needs cutting out. Similarly, to improve an organisation, bad projects must be allowed to fail.
