You're supposed to be the !$%&#& project manager.

Post by TabascoElvis »

Been working on a project off and on since October, fairly intently the past month and a half or so. Got these comments on a meeting invite today from the supposed project manager.
I have finally had a chance to really dig into the beef on this project and it seems to have become a bit of a content monster. I would like to sit down with the two of you to brainstorm some ideas on how we can refine this tool and bring it to closer alignment with the project charter and marketing objectives. <TabascoElvis>, you've done a great job working with what's been given to you by XXXXXX, but I feel that it is still missing the mark right now. Between the three of us, I think we can come up with a good solution to present back to XXXXXX.
Finally? Then why the hell have I been sending you updates for the last 2 months? We're less than 2 weeks to beta as far as XXXXXX is concerned and you're just now deciding you don't like the way it's looking. WTF?

The person listed as XXXXXX has been providing me with all the content. The "two of you" doesn't even include XXXXXX who's the [expletive] subject matter expert and content provider, it's me and another manager.

If you'd given us any direction or bothered to pass along the objectives, maybe we'd be closer to what you were hoping to see rather than having me basically waste the last 6 weeks and end up redoing something because you never shared how you wanted this POS to look and function. [expletive].

Maybe XXXXXX has been too busy working on his really, really raunchy porn films.

(wah, waahhhhh)

Tabasco,

Scope change = job security. Hopefully you are billing by the hour.

I have uttered this phrase at least 80 times this week.

No !$%&#& [expletive].
