Sometimes we got so engrossed in work that we forgot the very essence of quality time and the corporate world humour.
We work with impossible bosses with impossible deadlines. Impossible deadlines means losing your sanity and when you have a bunch of cockoo people, things don't go in a straight line.
On top of that throw some of the most impossible people ..
"I want this, yesterday."
"Meeting starts at 9. If you're here at 9, you're late."
Impossible deadlines puts everyone under pressure. This is a chain reaction. Your boss give you impossible deadlines because his boss is giving him the same impossible deadline, if not worse. So he's simply "cascading" his pain to you, and subsequently you to others.
I want this line and this paragraph to be amended. Change all the reports.
1 months later (testing included), DONE!
We need to change this field, change the layout, change the colours. We need to interface with this this and this to get maximum slice of the pie! Get this done, no matter what.
3 weeks later, DONE!
I am not happy with this. We're incompetent. We need to revamp this entire system. Find a replacement.
DONE!
You will notice how different things used to be and how things are now. Small things used to take longer time to be completed. As time goes by, the more impossible, the more massive the project size, the shorter time it takes. We don't like things to complicate things and we like to keep the peace.
DONE. DONE. DONE.
