It all started out when one constipated monkey called onsite manager wanted to get into good books with client. Without consulting any of us, he commited to the client that we will finish a certain task. He explained to us as if the whole task will take a day to complete. But the devil is in detail. It took three days to develop and three of us were staying through the weekend to complete it. When I informed the onsite manager, he cooly replied that those planing should be dealt with the client manager! Amazingly idiotic, but true. I wonder how these people get into managerial positions. They commit saying such-and-such task could be completed within such-and-such time, without knowing a bit about the work involved. They all think if we increase the resources, it should be fine. Try impregnating a woman with nine men to get a baby in one month!

In addition, I got to put-up with managerial madness at offshore. I have one guy who repeats everything twice. Everything he says, he says twice. When it happens to others it is comedy, when happening to me it is a real tragedy. He will send out an e-mail and come to you saying, “I have sent you a mail. Check it out”. Whenever he does it, he gets into my nerves.

Finish the task. Suddenly there is a crowd to pick up the glory. You would wonder, where the hell were these people when you were boiling and toiling.
