I love being triple booked and having two pm's annoyed that I didn't turn up.. "bitch isn't scheduling half your job? Did you not check if I was available?"

You know it's getting bad when the PMs don't bother. They know you're perma-fucked. The this-is-fine meme has so much meaning when you live it.

Time to find a new job

The best part of starting a new job is that you don't have years of built up "status checkins" that we're never cancelled for some reason.

I have a Funko Pop of the "This is Fine" dog on my desk at work because there are times where I'm really feeling that way.

I've worked at so many places where there are multiple mid-level managers with overlapping responsibilities and staff. It just leads to conflicting orders and the people who get in trouble when things don't get done are the workers and never the managers who issued impossible tasks.
