Fek yeah, I'm with ya.

Got brought in on a project recently and immediately started noticing problems... optimistic timelines, total lack of understanding of technical limitations, underbudgeted. I raise red flags but it's obvious no-one wants to hear it, and I don't necessarily want to be painted as the "can't do" guy or chicken little.

I'm just making sure all my concerns are captured in emails instead of just being glossed over on the phone. The project manager has a rep for finding scapegoats when the cookie crumbles.

It's been 8 weeks of this schyte, and I think it's gonna blow in the next couple days. Milestones either aren't being met, and some are being checked off half-done. "launch" is supposed to be next Thursday. She's already getting folks to do pretty crazy OT "off the books". Luckily, I had been warned ahead of time and have been very careful, but man... what a way to spend a few weeks.

Yep, looking forward to Friday, but next Friday will be even better... when this project is either over, or blown all across the company in little bits, with OT timesheets and unmet timelines scatterred everywhere.
