@aeduna @benno ah yes, the old “we were talking over there, and we’ve decided that your team needs to do X. Btw, this is a blocker and we’ve already raised a project risk that’s going to the CTO.”

@cos @benno who has said that project dead lines cannot be shifted again, so find a way to reuse the time you already wasted on the thing we've decided we dont want.

@aeduna @cos @benno ah, the long ago meeting when I had to explain to my manager that labelling everything "top priority" meant that exactly the same as labelling them all "low priority", it did not allocate any more resources to getting them done

@benno I love it when everything is top priority, because that means everything is the same priority, and nothing is top priority
