Not sure how much more I can take of the micro managing Panic Management

I managed 8 months.

WTF! Next slide has a dog on it. That's random even for Americans.

Is it international random clipart day?

Pah, I bet the grub club would try

Only if it's lightly saluted in garlic butter with foie gras, truffles and caviar.

Next one has a pic from the opening sequence for the 007 films. Just before he turns and shoots in to the camera.

The slide is about software licensing. Not sure Licence to kill (that being the only vaguely tangible link) is the best TBH.

What's up?

I managed 8 months.

An Ar$e trying to PM...constantly (every 10 mins) emailing/calling/IM'ing for updates to adjust his project plan before a steering committee meeting (not until the 12th )

I've said many times, I sat and did the project plan with him, the dates or req. haven't changed! But he doesn't feel in the loop (i.e. wants to look busy and important)

He's an ex HP Prog mgr who is out of his depth here tbh...but good at shifting blame...

Well, the back saga continues for Mr N, the physio didn't help much, if anything, it made it worse. He's now been referred to a specialist.

At least it's happening quicker than the last time, docs in blighty kept fobbing him off with painkillers for months despite him saying he had private insurance, he finally got to see the one decent doctor in the practice who packed him off to a specialist tout suite!

Feel sorry for him as he's barely sleeping and is in pain the whole time as painkillers don't really do very much for him.

Sorry to hear N

I hate those feckers.

I had one manager once that kept asking me for update reports several times a day. Funnily enough he got the boot after a few months as people got fed up of him micromanaging.

I know, what's an even bigger pain is he's around all the time

What's the point in being benched if you can't have some me time.
