    as I said I seem to be the only one raising issues I find and sharing them. that is my job.

    collating them from all involved and making sure all raised issues are addressed are the PM's jobs.

    it was task dumping and sharing the blame.

    there is a partial team & some stakeholders meeting 4 hours drive / train away starting at 9 and going on all day. 5 days before the project end. We could all do it over a conference call any day.

    I can see this project going live to laughter.

    Why would I get hate PMs I'm lovely!

    The PM asked me 'Can you create an issue list' I think this is because I'm the only one that seems to have raised any and shared them.

    Maybe I'm missing something but aren't the main jobs for a PM is to own the deliverables,Plan, risk and issues ?

    I feel a suity moment coming on
