    So we are sitting - all 4 of us - on a pile of super important projects to carry out at the highest level... Now the CEO walks into that pile and announces, that cutting short one of those project (one of the two biggest) with two months is a good idea, as it will start our relations with the customer on the right foot... Now we have 84 minutes work for every hour... The most funny part, that the customer is the government... The project started 15 months ago and we still run the (2nd) pilot on VMs as they didn't bought the computers in the specification... F...k that idiotic two months!!!

    Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

        No - I can not install developer tools on the site, can not even connect it from the outside and more security things...

          Wow, sounds like the big boss is pushing too hard to get the project done early.

              Or maybe not. Let me guess, this is the kind of guy who will not listen to a question like: "Sure we can cut two months, which other project should we delay by months?"

              ... such stuff as dreams are made on

                Just get it done. You know you can. But after it's done, if you don't get the appreciation you deserve: find another job, and leave.

                    Huh? :confused: should there be a joke icon somewhere?

                      I very much doubt that your contract doesn't have a notice period. You don't have to walk out on the spot -- find another job, first.
