the classic PM trying to make the devs wake up from their sleep after hearing sales complaints
Throwing themselves in the way to make themselves a martyr, but then sending the barrage dev’s way x10?
Title is: "Fixed that other meme" in case anyone else can't decode PM speak
Bob Slydell: What you do at Initech is you take the specifications from the customer and bring them down to the software engineers? Tom Smykowski: Yes, yes that's right. Bob Porter: Well then I just have to ask why can't the customers take them directly to the software people? Tom Smykowski: Well, I'll tell you why, because, engineers are not good at dealing with customers. Bob Slydell: So you physically take the specs from the customer? Tom Smykowski: Well... No. My secretary does that, or they're faxed. Bob Porter: So then you must physically bring them to the software people? Tom Smykowski: Well. No. Ah sometimes. Bob Slydell: What would you say you do here
I appreciate that movie so much more now that i work in a very similar office. Its 20x funnier knowing the context
Devs to sales
LOL like we care about the sales bros. No one calls a PM in the middle of the night.
Some PMs sharpen the blades of sales too… ouch
I wish it were like this.
Never seen a pm do this...
All a matter of perspective 🙏🏼
Except when the dev is the project manager. *Cries in Jira
I've only worked with two PMs in my 20+ years of development who did anything remotely close to this. One of them is me. And even then I don't think I did it well enough.
Don’t know about y’all but PMs on every project and POs are awful and useless
"Why can't the customers just take the specs to the engineers?"
If you manage your projects like you used the camelCase, let's hope gods have mercy on your dev.s
lmao fair point, that casing is painful to look at
