The Dreaded Peter Devil
From The Daily WTF, here is another amusing tale of developer woe, huge piles of money flushed down the tubes, and clueless management.
The Peter Devil wasn’t very good at delivering bad news. He also wasn’t very good at delivering good news, neutral news, making decisions, motivating employees, or, just about anything else that a CTO is supposed to do. But — bad news — it just wasn’t his thing. He notified, via email, a team of over fifty employees that they’d be jobless in two weeks Unfortunately, the Vancouver office will be disbanded on August 23; we’ll need everyone to pull together and make an extra effort to finish up the Integration Project and transition the remaining work to us here in Toronto.
