If you asked me to choose between a dentist appointment and a meeting with a project manager. I would go for the root canal.



You call me a masochist?! :twisted: There are reasons why they don't like me, but it isn't about being a masochist. Slate driver perhaps. :wink:

Why are PM's hated Lets see. I can think up a list as long as this page but i wont bore you with all the details so ill just summarize the most salient points.

1. WE TELL PPL WHAT TO DO AND WHEN TO DO IT. (MOST people dont like that unless you have some sort of sick fetish)
2. You give them a hard time if they delay the project,
3. You take your coffee black without sugar,
4. You have a strange sense of humour, ok that wasnt really a general statement but you get the point yeh?

And i keep on asking the PM about the project's update and constant reminders popping up on their monitor. How's that?! :D

Nothing...I just remember something and so i reply to your post.



Your position at work should not be the hindrance to find friends in Dubai. In fact, it should be a way to widen your network of friends. :wink: PM should not be hated unless he/she has "personality probs" in general. :wink:

I think you are wrong, there are certain people in specific careers who are universaly hated by everyone other then family. PM's, Dentists, Tellytubbies etc.

Mr. L, if i may, don't confine yourself in your own perception, u might even end up conveying "negative waves" to people around u.. who might like u more than u think... i never heard such a thing as PMs suck.. i know about consultants :wink: just kidding
for the record, i once had a fling with my dentist :wink:
