Everytime project managers come up the threads are full of people say BUTTTTT THE GOOOOODDD ONES!!!

My experience is exactly like yours. They only exist because most executives are so detached from the realities of the business they require a full time person to turn their platitudes into something resembling reality.

If you are an engineer and you cant schedule a meeting or ping someone on slack, just get another job. We dont need to invent another soulless mindnumbing and pointless profession because you are too lazy to use a kanban board.

If you are an executive or leadership and you can’t communicate with your team even though the primary role of executives is communicating plans, then maybe leadership isn’t for you.

Its that simple. We could end the suffering of millions if not billions of people by outlawing 3 careers. Project managers, sales, and marketing. Pulling off the bandaid will hurt, but humanity will be better for it.
