once again, i’ve been parachuted into a project at work that is nearing a deadline with a lot of functionality left to complete. this wouldn’t be too terrible, but i’ve also inherited a half-built thing and have been expected to just ‘finish it up’ except it’s deeply flawed and should be rebuilt completely (conveniently, nobody told me why the former developer was removed from the team)
and did i mention an arbitrary deadline?

if this sounds like your workplace, i’m sorry and i feel your pain.
if this doesn’t sound like your workplace — are you hiring? https://mikesusz.dev

this is said somewhat cheekily. i consider myself an IBMer but my loyalty only goes as far as it’s reciprocated.
i just wish (in the IBM Consulting organization) we spent more effort on scoping, sizing, and staffing projects correctly. this is the long-term (sustainable) solution to increasing profitability. the focus seems to be on whip-the-developers / short-term solution for short-term increasing profitability.
