Through no fault of my own, I've somehow been promoted to a role that's 60% project management. This screenshot is my daily reality now and I feel like I've been trapped by my own success.
"project manager"... the corporate version of the brick breaker game. But with emails instead of a ball and paddle.
Get paid $5000 for a job, hand it off to an engineer claiming that you were only being paid $700 which you'd split 50/50 and then pocket the rest?
I can't imagine any scenario where I'd consider project management a promotion.
Same. I worked as a project coordinator for a few months for a sign company (temp job). It was supposed to turn into a real job but then they asked how I felt about project management and I was like… umm… so literally all the stuff I do now because the PMs here don’t do shit, but nobody to handle it for me when it fails? Meh. I’d rather stay as a coordinator without all the people management.
Needless to say they ran out my contract and reneged the offer. I’m not upset, tho it hurt at the time.
Peter principle?
Same and I know this feeling and it sucks lol
