Today I get back from my daily scrum and I remark to Chris – “I’m looking forward to my lunch, I brought ham from home. I think it’s going to end up being the high point of my day.”

I open up my lunch container and stare at my mashed potatoes and teryaki chicken.
This sums up my entire day to date.

Today in scrum the project manager told us that we’re re-tasking some people, maybe 1/5 to 1/4 or our workforce on a new project based on the same tech stuff we’ve been doing. Please note what this means:

1) We are not re-focusing. We are doing the same exact thing that we’ve been doing for the last year.
2) The previous ‘shift in directions’ that we have experienced are now no longer valid.
3) Don’t question it, you will be shot.
4) Despite 20-25% of our people being re-assigned, none of our dates have changed. We are still planning to put out our prototype as planned.

Bullshit, all of it.
