Boss: "I know we just finished the first part of Client A's project but they also want this extra work done that wasn't in the contract."
Me: "Can't do it without pushing back Client B's work"
Boss: "Well we don't want that. We need to hit that deadline."
Me: "Cool"
Boss: "But Client A was really hoping this new feature which wasn't in the scope would be in."
Me: "Then we're pushing back Client B's work"

    Our company sold something, but both our client and the project manager don't know what it is. The thing described in the contract is so vague almost anything would be okay.

    But our PM wants to have a meeting with the customer to find out what they want, even though we have a working thing which fits that description.

    I once had something like that with a bad boss who just kept saying "I want both" when he couldn't have both.

    Ultimately, I got out the big hammer. Told him what was needed was a decision about priorities, and that setting priorities was the main job of a boss. That smacked.
