that doesn't preclude them from having a drink at home if they don't feel like making the walk. back before the pandemic i used to be a regular at the bar and i still drank at home.


edit: corrected pronouns. sorry hbag

sitting on a meeting where two pms are janitoring story points in rally for a project that's going to be taking place over the next four months. i tried telling them multiple times that all the estimates they're getting are worse than useless because we only have half the needed resources even allocated and available to make estimates, but even they have never done this kind of work before so their numbers are completely fabricated. then from their estimates they're just making up estimates for other work items where we don't even have anyone to work them yet but will also be new work for them if/when we even get them. now after spending several days getting all these :airquote: estimates :airquote: aligned they're now going through and fudging them so that everything aligns with what upper management expects

at one point they were panicking because the total points added up to being way over our expected deadline until i pointed out that testing/development happens mostly in parallel. they then used that point to cut our expected development timeline because we should be getting another developer which means the work will happen twice as fast!

i was explicitly brought into this role to prevent this kind of bullshit and no one is listening to me. most of the people here have clinical backgrounds or are basically kids who've never worked another job since getting out of school so i can't blame them for being terrible at managing software projects. i'm gonna start bitching loudly to my boss because this kind of bullshit isn't just this one project but is happening across every project i'm on where the PMs / business analysts treat *all* tech workers as second class citizens who "just don't get it" and if they don't want my help then best of luck to them, i'm going to go somewhere else

'ok so we need an estimate on how long it will take to set up this sandbox system'

i can't give you an estimate on that because we don't even know what technology we're going to use for it. there's half a dozen vendors to choose from and management still hasn't given us even a hint on what we're going to use. on top of that each of these vendors have multiple hosting / configuration options that we need to choose from. ON TOP OF THAT NO ONE ON THIS PROJECT OR IN THIS DEPARTMENT HAS EVER DONE THIS BEFORE

'.... ok so ten points'

as i said i can't even blame them because the root of the problem is upper management demanding estimates while simultaneously dictating "suggesting" deadlines so the pms naturally feel intimidated into telling them what they want to hear

at the same time upper management correctly recognizes that what they're doing isn't effective but have also fallen into the, 'we'll do anything necessary just as long as it doesn't involve changing anything' trap

we just poached a new cto from amazon a few months ago who, as far as i can tell so far, seems to know what the gently caress he's doing. unfortunately he hasn't been around long enough to start issuing mandates so the old habits are still reigning supreme. i'm really considering just going straight to him to ask for a mandate that i can enforce. the department i'm in is small but we're essentially the spearhead for all development work for the entire company so our fuckups can cascade into colossally expensive ones while simultaneously if we do our job right it results in huge gains in efficiency. middle management has mostly existed in the hardware / clinical world their entire career and they're new to the whole software thing. so i don't blame them for sticking to what they know but what they know is 100% wrong
