Here’s an email trail of my experience at work …

Manager:
Me:
... this happened a day after demonstrating the application at a managers meeting and clearly stating that the application was not ready.
I feel for you Luthier  |
But... what if your last answer was like:
ME:You are right <Team Manager>. Is only our fault. We will stay here working for you 24/7 with no weekends, no family, "insert favourite sacrifice here"...
TEAM MANAGER:
Are you crazy? When we left yesterday's meeeting we ordered 50.000$ in brand new hardware just because you said that the performance calculator was almost done. We need it now!
<...>
See my point? Who fed the whine?
Jokes apart, human nature is so, we can't change that.
The pesimistic will disect every word and comma, make inferences and concludes the bottle as half empty. For god sake, some of them even will use a magnifying glass! (*)
The optimistic will see in every word of Luthier the bottle half full, if Luthier leaves a big shit in the middle or the room, they will think he is planning to gift them a horse. (*)
* Disclaimer: A caricature (from the Italian caricatura, which means "loaded portrait") is a portrait or drawing of a person that exaggerates the way they look, usually to create a humorous effect, or a political statement.
But almost everybody accepts that is half filled.
And is a fact that almost everybody, want it full.
As for me, the best thing I think I can do now is accept my role of beta testers and post in the correspondent thread our confirmed bug observations.
What I dont understand is why some don't accept it, and every time that one guy says "oh I love the game", or the opposite "i hate this game",
has to intervene in the thread with something like "%$··" you moron, get out your ugly face of your 4$$hole".
