they are "doing the excel", "cooking the books", "winging it" or any other euphemism for just telling their own bosses whatever they wanna hear.
Seriously, if you are paid by the month and some rich dumbass wants to hear that you will turn sand into gold using only CO2 capture by the end of the quarter, you tell him that.
Higher management will run after another shiny thing long before the time is up, anyway.

So my non-tech manager has started doing all the estimates for us developers on features upon high management request to save time, because of course rushing all the estimates for the work to be done in the next 6 months is the best process in software engineering.
All the estimates are based on previous work. Sometimes it will be accurate, but most of the time it is absolutely not.
So I get a task estimated to 3 weeks but I planned for 5. Just fit it in 3 weeks.
I planned for 2 weeks but the original estimate is 5. Just fit it in 5.
What kind of crap is that lol? What is the point of us estimating work if management knows apparently better than us how to design systems?
You guys got any similarly shitty project management system?
