Years ago when I still worked for companies as an employee my team had this PM that was so desperate to get things done and get them done early. I mean he was a nice guy but always pushing. The thing is though my team was pretty damn solid and we got stuff done early, all working, tests passed, all that cause we liked to play battlefield 3 and eve online together when we had the free time. Course we never told the PM this. Also the PM liked to motivate us with food if we worked late to get stuff finished. So we used this to our advantage and once or twice a week we allowed the PM to buy us dinner and beer/snacks because we told him we’d be working late to ensure deadlines were met. When in reality we’d just be in the office playing eve online together and wanted food and beer while we did so.
I don’t feel bad for the project manager, he came from money, he constantly told everyone he came from money, so we took his money.
