  • I know this is just a joke, but I’ve recently become a project manager for the first time. I’m open to tips and suggestions.

    I’ve really enjoyed it and have worked hard to give my developers everything they need as soon as possible. Otherwise I try to stay out of the way and do my best to shield them from the pressure that’s being applied on me to achieve deadlines.

    I’d agree that anyone can ask for project updates, but I really do work hard to balance client demands with c-suite expectations and the realistic outcomes described by my developers.

    Mowing the yard for my dad as a pre-teen. I was trying to earn some extra cash and so went way above and beyond.

    He acknowledged it and did pay a little more than we’d agreed to, but in no way commensurate to the extra work I put in.

    I don’t mind working hard or doing extra, but I do it for me now. If interested, passionate, and engaged, then I dig deep and do more. Otherwise it’s the agreed upon work and no more.
