Voxera115857yThat PM is not just an idiot, they are incompetent to.
They wont solve anything by blaming you, who could know which color tome was the one the customer wanted?
Also, screen settings affect color tones massively so if you job was to work with images you would need a color calibrated screen.
I have seen themes that range from reddish purple to clear blue just from screen settings ;) -
@Voxera exactly, and i had to get one of the designers to look at this before we figured out the issue. A thing like this is apparently uncommon and no one could've anticipated it.

h4xx3r17167yThat management is not supportive\useful, first the manager needs to, at least, investigate if the issue is on your side (by making the right questions to the client), and only when he fails, he can bother you. At least this is the ideal in my mind.

bahua129047y$100 says they still don't understand even now, and think you're just trying to skive out of responsibility for your mistake.

@bahua yeah I think so. I have a feeling that I am gonna waste more time tomorrow explaining the same thing again... it is gonna be fun ;)

A lot of Project managers are idiots.
Here is what happened: I am a backend developer and was asked to replace some images on some website (not even sure this is supposed to be a backend task). So i did, changes went through review and then they were live.
A few hours later they come to me saying i made a mistake because the image has wrong color tone in one of the browsers (internally facepalming myself)... I didn't design the images nor made any changes to them... I just fucking uploaded the files that were sent to me... That's fucking it.
They blamed me for a design issue and how I should've noticed this issue blah blah blah... And i had to spend an entire fucking hour to explain to them step by step what i did, how i did it and why the color tone was wrong even though i am not a designer and my main tool is VISUAL FUCKING STUDIO AND NOT PHOTOSHOP.
The shit part is that the images were sent to us by the client, so really, it is their fucking fault not mine.
Oh, and they tried to guilt me by saying the client won't pay for this since the images are wrong.
Lost an hour to this bullshit.
