    ...did his job of reading the requirements handed to him by the client last week, I probably wasn't needed on the manager's meeting. I should'nt be attending there in the first place. Thanks to him, I felt I was a manager for an hour. Poor technical manager, he doesn't seem to have a clue of what the enhancement will be despite of my attempts to make him understand. I have avoided technical terms during my discussion with him and went on explaining the high-level overview of the approach. But he keeps on asking the same questions everyday. Now he's required to explain them to the client. Well, I wish him good luck. Sorry guys, I may get downvoted for this, but I just want to shout my disappointment. Wondering if you guys have similar experiences.

        I think everyone has had this at some point :) What's worse, IMHO, is when your boss IS technical but still fails to give you all the details from the client... until the last minute when he magically remembers...

          I guess I should be expecting that in the coming weeks. :sigh:
