Bad management
Two weeks ago I joined a meeting with a set of timelines for a system migration. I pointed out that the technical work requires people who are either on sabbatical, or on vacation / doing scholarly activity and thus unavailable.
Vendor & execs agreed to talk about it offline.
Today, I joined a follow-up meeting. Same set of timelines, starting next week. I pointed out that there are still no technical people available.
Vendor & execs agreed to talk about it offline.
Bad management
I suspect management expects at least one of the technical people to make a heroic sacrifice and save their asses, but they're the ones who put us in this godawful position to begin with.
They signed a migration contract binding us to this timeline even though our entire department urged them to choose a different timeline.
So fuck them.
