>>705316>it's hard to get managers to commit to thingsInteresting, what do you mean by this?
My problem when I was employed was rather that managers would promise too many things to the client, too many half-baked features for little money, and sometimes we had to stop doing real development to redeploy an app because the bold line was 3px big and not 5px big. I'm barely exaggerating.
The specs were atrocious because the manager couldn't say "no" or "you go back, jack, do it again" to the customer, then we would miss another deadline, so we had to work harder, and again redeploy at the last minute because they want the 5px line to green not yellow.
Maybe the companies I worked with sucked and the work culture in my country sucks, where appearing to be working hard is more important than actually achieving goals, it's a possibility.
