I ran out of runway for my startup, so I took a contract job as a PM in a well-funded startup that has little or no traction.
Company is full of senior management-type guys who have their eyes on the big payout, but because they're well-funded and don't know what they're doing, they want to offshore everything. That's right: they're offshoring a new product that they themselves do not grasp. The only specs are some existing code they bought and whatever comes out of their mouth in a sales meeting. This makes what would normally be just a clusterfuck turn into a royal, 5-star clusterfuck.
I just saw them take 15 people and 3 months to do what 1 guy could do in 2 weeks. And they did it with 20-hour days, yelling, and all the other drama. If it wasn't destroying people's lives like a meat grinder, it'd be a comedy.
Now I have to find a way to ditch these assholes before they ruin my life too.
