My favorite is when project managers try to tell you it will be easier with more people.
For some things that’s true.
But for some, it really just takes a while.
I tried to explain to a PM that maybe we should ask his wife next time if she can split up her pregnancy between two women. Baby could be born in half the time.
He didn’t appreciate my feedback and wrote me up for it. Probably my proudest moment.
Is there a joke in the comic anywhere? This is just an average morning in consulting.
That’s pretty much all this cartoon ever is … just states some obvious fact about office life involving stupid demanding bosses.
For most people, it’s a mildly funny observation on office life.
For project managers, it’s a statement on the nature of business and a testament to the banality of life itself.
I’m guessing you’re a project manager?
For you the joke isn’t in the comic, it’s in the mirror.
