There’s this huge project we’re working on, it’s been on the roadmap since November, and one of the core tasks depends on the department I’m building, and I’m sayin “I’m building”, because last year my department was non-existent, we had to create the processes, slowly buy the tools and equipment and now we have this huge task in front of us.
We’ve delayed the project about three times now, our last deadline was set up to next week, I was in a meeting with other managers and decided that we were able to make the mark if a few (about 9 guys) worked 2 extra hours every day till Friday, not a big deal, we get done with the meeting and head back to work.
My boss, the owner of the company, calls a meeting about 5 minutes after this, he asked about the project, we try to explain what’s the situation and what have we decided to do to meet the deadline, he won’t listen, he’s pissed saying that we should had done the whole project by now, he wants the whole project done by tomorrow, we try to explain that the client agreed to get everything next week, it doesn’t matter, he wants it done tomorrow.
About 18 people had to stay, we’re leaving until we get this done, tomorrow afternoon probably, and there’s gonna be a serious rescheduling of the current road map, so other projects will be affected by this, they are gonna pay twice the amount on extra hours, and 18 people will work a 29 hour shift all because this asshole is impossible to talk with, because he threw his tantrum and stopped listening to the people who had solved the problem.
Fuck this company
