I've been given an 70 day estimate for what is an SQL SELECT COUNT(*) FROM X in a shell script. The regional team did it in 1/2 a day.
Obviously the example above shows a complete lack of understanding from those concerned (including their management).
This thread is for those that have had bad experiences with project managers, not to stereotype all pm's in existance otherwise I wouldnt even be in here.

Of course its to stereotype all PMs, nero's consistent bashing of them and claiming that anyone who defends them must be a PM kinda points towards him thinking all PMs are ****s.
i can comment on anything that the OP has decided to put in this thread or on this forum.
a rant is a rant, generally people rant then realise they are talking crap and get over it. the OP hasnt got over it, just gone on and on, which has lead people to believe that he is more than just ranting but has a grudge against PMs.
As for reading this thread, maybe you should do the same, a couple of posts above you shows just how many comments the OP made in a very short period of time.
most of the OPs comments have something untoward regarding a PM in it![]()

fella, smiley or not, your not funny :]
Clearly if you read the thread properly you would know that is not the case, re-read, understand his position whether you agree with it or not and instead of result to petty bickering and factless insinuations just take note that he is ranting (this has been said many times now, I mean come on...) This thread isn't serious business (pic here), its to let off steam from any *bad* experiences you've had. If you want to say how lovely and soft pm's are, make a different thread about it, you can justify all you like that pm's aren't all bad, we already know the obvious. Its not requried information.
you cant defend the pm's he has had experience with as you have only had one example from him.
On a side note - the guy playing in the saxophone shop above me really cant play the "happy birthday" song...
The good news is I'm off that project and back of my MOSS rebuild project. Nero is happy once more!![]()

because the people that recruited them haven't got a clue...
But that has been the problem from the start of this thread, as soon as anyone asked for any extra information, reasoning or explanation for your comments/thoughts you start hiding behind the excuse that this is a 'rant' thread and you don't need to say anything.If they haven't figured it out yet, no amount of reasoned explanation will help them! Perhaps we should just be thankful that they are not PMs...?
