Zman Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 And then Senior Management who sponsored (well managed) project are fired.... Boy I wish. Where I work they get promoted and probably even a pay raise. After all, the project is taking three times as long due to their incompetence so doesn't Senior Mgmt deserve three times as much.

+ MasssageGuy Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Crony Capitalism is rampant that is for sure. The stories we all could tell! I was on a consulting gig a couple of years ago when the first movie of "Horrible Bosses" came out and I LMAO so much. I'm sure others in the theater thought I was very odd. Then again, I am. You need a sense of humor to survive the crazy work environments. AdamSmith, Zman and + quoththeraven 3
AdamSmith Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 My way out was finally to fire my boss. The client may be nutty too but there is usually an underlying rationality, or at least rationale, that you can work with. + quoththeraven and + MasssageGuy 2
