Both project managers at my company quit at the same time. Rather than replace the PMs, my employers are having us engineers figure out what customers want and all the dates. It’s super hard! Yesterday I sat through an hour-long meeting for a project that never needed to happen… while my other projects are late.
So it turns out those guys were actually doing a lot of work, and spreading it out (to people who suck at it) was not a good idea. I actually enjoyed my job before this, and it’s starting to feel like time for a change. In my experience it never gets better and you should always jump ship sooner rather than later.
