shut up, watch, and learn. Spending years dealing with unreasonable drop-dead dates developed by clueless PMs and managers who pulled the date out of their butt instead of evaluating the true effort to complete the project THEN set the date, then you can complain. Spending years rewriting/reconfiguring your work because the requirements change but the date doesn't, then you can complain. Spend years dealing with people who have to finish their task before yours can be completed but since you are the last guy, you get the blame if it's late, then you can complain. Spend years dealing with vendors who promise "our product can do that!" but turns out that the limitations of the tool are not discovered before some non-techie manager buys it and all you have to do is "make it work", then you can complain. So, have a cup of coffee, mind your business, and enjoy your halcyon days.
