    I just couldn't take any more of her and her power games. Her latest trick was to have me find her swiveling in my seat when I got back from the loo on a few occasions.

    So, the question is - who do I stick it to with both barrels tomorrow? I really think this stupid cow need bringing down a peg or two.

    Set her up as a low-class escort on Adultwork. Make sure you use her work email and phone number as the contact details.

      Great idea.

      I won't use her real profile pic, though, otherwise she won't get any prospective punters.

            Trumps!

            Guess what? In the last week, I have also fallen victim to a stupid Tyrant PM, who could not project manager to save herself. My contract was ripped up and I now have also joined the "State of the Market" forum thread. My ex-PM didn't curse or swear or bully. She just went behind my back. She couldn't understand IT software development, linked dependencies, like a central user story A has to be constructed before user story B or C, which depends on A being done. She couldn't plan her way out of a teacup to save her life. Result, that I was the one at fault, even though I was new to this. It was a blame culture and I got the bullet for non-productivity or non-delivery. Another attempt at being Agile, but Fragile. I shouldn't known when I signed up and after two weeks in the gig. B****H!

                "just had a mouthful from her at 7.30 am as soon as I walked through the door"

                Your keen, put some headphones in next time and remove at 9am after your coffee and breakfast and newspaper at your desk

                  Assume in your reports that the PM asks for you are itemising the time taken to fill in the report - making it clear the time wasted in the exercise.

                  I find terrible PM's are 10 a penny these days and they hide behind bureaucracy. Unfortunately they decide resource so when it goes bad, its time to move on.
