Conversation of the day

In a team meeting. Jack is briefing the team.

Jack: Next item... I was feeling some pressure from management last week, when they told me that our project was "being watched".

Alan: Jack, that's a tactic.

Jack: It is?

Alan: Yes.

Jack: Was I played?

Alan: Yes.

Jack: Really?

Alan: Yes. That's a project management tactic to make you sweat and get the project finished faster.

Jack: I'm going to use this as a growth opportunity.
