Gah - Gripefest, be warned.

Okay, so why is it higher level management never listens to the qualified people they hire to do the job. I mean, if we're telling them it will take x time to do something, why do they insist on telling us it doesn't matter, we can still meet a due date weeks before x time has even elapsed?

And not only that, why don't annoying contract programmers regression test their work? There must be some out there who do, I'm sure of it. Too bad they're not the ones we hired.

Next up, why do the same higher managers think they can throw random bodies at the project and have it finish on time, without spending money or resources /training/ said bodies?

Baaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Sometimes work is way too aggravating.
