Irritable Project Syndrome

Irritable Project Syndrome (IPS)

Occurs when most members of a project team get extremely crabby and short-tempered due to shifting deadlines, impossible deliverables, inadequate resources, or insurmountable constraints. Symptoms include snarky comments, mean emails, shouting matches, escalations, increased absenteeism, sleeplessness, and catatonic withdrawal. Treatment can include alcohol, complaining/venting to your peers, turning off electronic devices, long vacations, and no longer giving a damn.

"Angel, I don't know how to tell you this, but I believe you suffer from Irritable Project Syndrome. But you don't have to suffer alone. "
