If as a manager you are stupid enough to promise dates for delivery, then you need to be clear with the people who are going to deliver your product what the target date is from the start.
If you keep people in the dark who are doing the work then expect them to be sh*tty if you just throw a deadline on them, particularly if you aren't flexible about working practises."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by russell View PostA manager higher up the chain picked an arbitrary date and promised various people interested it will be ready then. Since then it has been reduced to a crippled product to fit this deadline. Now they are adding back needed functionality. It's a disaster hence my unwillingness to extend. I will say no to them as they knocked back my overtime rate level.
I'm same here - I dont put myself out if the issue is caused by piss poor organisation. If its a proper operational emergency thats different.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Boo
Working through an agency is a little different, as you are less in control of your rate.
Completely understand where OP is coming from though.Comment

Premiums for callouts/unsociable hours are perfectly acceptable busuiness practices.Comment
