There are clients who always suggest an idea then after they suggest they will say "...again don't do this yet, its not a big deal blah blah blah"
Then the other day they will ask if their idea is already implemented.

🤦🏻‍♂️

"Yeah, when I said it wasn't a priority I meant any time tomorrow would be fine"

Always always always talk about feature additions as a change of scope. New timeline, new budget. Always.

People like that have made me realize that starting a business and making money that puts you in a position to order around skilled people is something literally anyone can do.

All it takes is access to capital. So, maybe not everyone, but anyone who can swing that.

Joining a company someone else started to be a useless piece of shit manager is definitely something anyone can do though. It's my long-standing refrain about engineers never being able to compete with full time politicians.

@SortOfTested Especially when anyone you could show their corruption/uselessness to with the authority to do something about it is also corrupt/useless. 🙄😞

That's when you know the company is doomed and you need to leave. The wise man jumps ship when the icebergs start steering.

I am not entirely sure what cahoots is, but I am quite confident they are all in it together.
