PMs are over-rated, and usually overpaid. That's why I'm certifying myself as a PM!
Said that, a good PM can make projects a lot more profitable. Profitable not necessarily mean better. It just mean profitable.
- I do remember one place I worked where PM's seemed to complicate things... and raise billing hours(!)vaxorcist

i bet your manager turns it against you, and says. "isn't it the designer's job to deliver a design?"her logic would be, you're sick today, but you should have sent it yesterday or.... you weren't that sick... you could have easily taken 5 minutes to pack the files from home and send it to the client.

- plus, it wasn't a client, it was a fucking vendor (big difference)monospaced

@jetSkii
She wasn't asking for a design. She was asking for a logo file, which is available to everyone who works here. Yes, I could have taken 5 minutes to send it to her, but so could she. PLUS, it's HER job.
- but it's your fault anyway...
PMs and evil will prevailmaikel - not my fault in any way, shape or form. It's her job to be familiar with the brand and work with vendors.monospaced

There really are some good project managers...... part of their role is nonstop client service... errrrr... analingus really, and part of their role is to make sure things are actually billed....

Fuckin'-a, I can hear you sitting over there promising the client all kinds of shit next week and assigning me the work. At least have the courtesy to loop me into this project before lining work up for me. Fucking shameless loud talking too, hearing my name over and over. Goddamn infuriating you fucking project managers, only talk loud when your'e not talking to your mom/boyfriend/sister/2-yr-old neice or gossiping or going to the fucking gym and your long ass lunches. Acting all important by talking super loud on the phone and then leaving as soon as you know a designer will do all the fucking work while you get your pussy waxed during work hours.
- I only have disdain for this PM because we never work together, ever, and she never even asks me what my time is likemonospaced
