Another unrealistic deadline from our non-software developer PM.
He agreed to client upon delivery of a complete system consisting of 4 micro-services in Node and 4 front-end Angular application integrated with each micro-service accordingly.

Project Delivery date is December 31. I have told him It is impossible to deliver complete solution on December 31.
Now he wants me & my team to come to office even on weekends.
What an idiot !

    @Kimmax , We did so and now we are waiting to see how it feels like to taste his own medicine.

    @AngryDev9981 Good that you told him off - he needs to learn the hard way to check back with the tech department.

    The fact that he even was able to tell shit to the customer is a serious process defect. Proposals should never go out to the customer without confirmation from engineering - and not only for technical viability, but also for availability of staff in the intended time frame.

    Deadline for anything in December is usually around 20th, preferrably earlier. After that 80% of the people are on holiday anyway.

    And deliveries around new year are one of the worst ideas ever. Deliver on Dec 31st so nobody will be there on Jan 1st if something goes wrong.

    Someone who doesn't realize this by his own must have an IQ of sliced bread, although this might be offensive... against the bread.

    @ddephor , yeah these pea brains won't even learn by past experiences.
    I did same shit in 2 previous projects and those projects were failures because of over-committing to clients.
