About 75% of the interviews used the words "chaotic," "stressful," or some form of "some days I want to cry." One person laughed when I mentioned a 40 hour work week. CEO apparently told people on a project to get system X implemented in months (normally year/s) or else they'd be fired...that's like me telling the CEO how to do his job...'if you don't get a buyout in 3 weeks you're fired.' See how stupid that sounds. Also spoke to an IT manager who was adamant there was a regulatory requirement for developers at a software vendor to comply with regulatory training requirements. The fact this person believed this shows how the Peter Principle is in full play.
