Employee benefits including staff gifts
In the workplace staff gifts really should be provided regularly. corporate businesses strive with staff incentives by providing gift cards.1 point
Those moving specs
I once had a boss wait until final testing, then change the project parameters once or twice a day (sometimes to impossible things), then after two weeks of this, he complained that the project was not done!0 points
I want to play too!
I had a manager complain that he was bored and it was no fair that I got to "play" and he didn't since the project that I was working my ass off was assigned to him. Any guess as to who assigned it to me?0 points
Vapor ware
At one company we (the programmers) had to look through the sales brochures to find out what the product that we were making did! When we confronted the V.P. about the fact that it did not actually do much of the features being sold, he said "yes, but you could make it do that, right?" He was not phased when we pointed out that industry insiders had told us that it would take literally millions of dollars (and the company was broke).0 points
You are Doomed
We had a very large "make or break" project. Industry insiders told me that they projected millions of dollars and a large staff. I had a couple programmers in a small startup. We were not allowed to actually start work on the project until after we had promised to deliver it. We ended up shipping several programmers to the factory where they were forced to work 20 hours a day trying to make it work. Needless to say, it failed.0 points
Random Firings
When I worked at one large tech firm, the new V.P. wanted to cut costs, so he told someone to fire X% of the staff. In my department, that ended up being about 50%, and it was done without consulting the project managers who were then left blindsided and wondering what projects they could finish with the staff that were left. They even ended up re-hiring (at a higher wage) several of the staff.0 points
Thinking with the wrong head.
I worked at a small company. The president's wife decided that she wanted to go to art school on the other side of the county! The next thing we know, there is a new branch office required. It was just the president working in a city thousands of miles away because his wife wanted to live there instead. The strangest part was that every time he came into town, all he wanted to do was take everyone to the strippers...0 points
Doing the work of 3
We have had layoffs over the last 2 years. I am now asked to do the work of 2 others plus my original work without overtime and to the same specs as when 3 people did the job. The boss's response - well you just don't work hard enough you need to figure out how to get it done.0 points
