what do i mean ?
i mean i was wondering how many of you, are in the same situation than me : not hating their manager etc..
Just facts : being managed by people that have little to zero experience in multimedia, advertising and design.My boss .. not the boss of the company.. i'm talking here about the prject manager.. does know fuckall :
no coding abilities or knowldge, front back office, develloping tools etc..
not a clue about design, typographie,
mediocre skills in comunication online etc..i've see nguys like that everywhere.. managing to get a job 'i don't knwo how' and running projects like dicks..

i had the same problem with my prev. company with PM. They are not creative enough to explain about design and stuff, put blame on designers and try to save their own ass. Not all PM are like that, but most of them. Actually, web designers can be a good project manager :P Easy to cope with the client and convience the client.

oh..one more thing, they try to get more money then designers do. They should attend some sorta creative session and seminars to make them understand more about design and get them to be creative.

the worst is when you have two project managers standing behind your back, fighting over who booked you and who didnt. "hello! do I have any say in this?"
Then the take you off the flash job you are immersed in and get you to do a banner ad and it fucks up your whole concentration.

very goog point muid. and jevad too : i mean i'll let people knwo wabout this guy earning about 5000 pounds a month ..
and also yes, it's disgusting to see them go in the top boss office (i work in a 40000 people group) and say : Have u seen my latest idea ??and this idea comes from whjo... us..
he is a prick.. i'm just gonna have to tell him

sexypixel... u so true! PM sometimes fighting over designers! Gosh... so true.
They will like sending job briefs
and sometimes put our names (designers) without asking permission from other PM, which makes things more complicated and make us work more for the day...true, true...

When I was a wage slave... my project manager used to take calls... and say we specialise in 'flash animation' not the fact that we actually did full blown applications in faslh.. .he just didn't get it... I don't really blame him though, he was just thrown in at the deep end.
