Mine’s more like an LLM - exposed to a vast quantity of technical terms that they don’t really understand, but can mash them together well enough to make coherent-sounding statements in JIRA
As some others mentioned it depends on context. My project managers do a lot of shit I don’t want to do : handling budgets, discussing project scope with clients, handling authorization request to external APIs (I’m in a big company) and also most PO stuff (writing tickets and handling sprint ceremonies).
Sometime they are a bit annoying because they freak out about deadlines and ask question every 10min while you try to focus and actually solve the bug, but at least they are self aware that it is because they feel helpless in this kind of situation 😛
Also, more about the proxy thing, sometime I have to explain technical things that simplifies and then they will probably explain it again to clients with a second layer of simplification. But I usually never hear about this again, which probably means that they manage to reassure client and maybe add a bit of bullshit on parts that don’t really mater, which spares me a lot of time overall.
I see a lot of people saying that your managers are bad managers, but I think your organization also put them in a badly defined role.
depends on the manager. go figure, many people have had poor management. and that in itself is pretty self perpetuating because how are you going to learn decent project management if you’ve only ever had shite examples.
But I always liked the idea of reclaiming stuff from the assholes.
So if people think this template is nice to make memes with, I always enjoyed taking it away from Crowder without giving him the power to stop anyone from using it.
In my eyes he doesn’t own this meme, but I can see your point.

A good project manager also returns 403 forbidden to middle managers trying to scope increase projects or poach project members

*bad managers
A good manager and/or team lead is great, but it’s a job difficult to get right
I’m living this right now. Bad requirements lead to bad results and lengthy rework.
Yup, trying to rush to work just makes things slower

This … is actually quite accurate.
And for most cases this is perfectly fine!

That asshole shouldn’t have a meme, cmm.
Just use Calvin.
Who is this and why are they hated?
Steven Crowder is a well known asshole with an internet presence that he uses to sow misogyny and other forms of hate.
I don’t want to see his face in memes.
While Calvin in a Crowder meme is better than Crowder in a Crowder meme, maybe we just don’t use a Crowder meme at all?
There are several others that convey basically the same message
I mean I guess.
