Haha, yeah, where I work whenever there is a crisis, the "Tiger Team" swings into action.
No you're not tigers. You're a bunch of middle-aged middle-managers in a medium sized IT organization. No-one thinks you look like a helicopter pilot with your stupid Bluetooth headset. Grow the fuck up!
And said crisis is something that was probably caused by their poor decision making in the first place. Umm hello McFly, cutting 50% of the features to save 5% of the budget is not a bargain...
Keep in mind that management wants things that are good for Google. You care about what's good for you
This isn't true either. A manager wants what's good for his or her career 10x more than an engineer does. As I have said before, the only people who become managers are those who want to, which implies they want it more than doing engineering. If they convince you it's "for the good of the company" well that's just a tactic to get you to put their interest ahead of your own.
Not that companies don't need management. But don't get starry-eyed about it.
