When will they learn? There are no admin IT people

[privateeye]

Consider yourselves lucky, the project I am on I am the only manager in a role that I have previous in. All senior managers have no IT experience at all and development team leaders do not even know about source control or a software development lifecycle - pure hell for a release manager. The emphasis here is to downgrade the role to make it cheaper - ie get admin people to do technical roles.

That seems to be the way of projects these days. A failed project which didn't cost much is better than a successful one which "met budgetary expectations".

So are they probably: it'll be much easier to blame you after you've gone.

Yep, you're probably right!
