When a project keeps growing to the point it has six heads, too many moving parts and a never ending change order list. Things aren't working so piling on more should help.
'Here's comes a few more changes to the changes. Man this project is really turning into a franken-fuck."
The inevitable chaos that one experiences as a projects moves towards the end. The finish line is in sight, there's more loose ends than a 20 year old sweater, everyone is semi-confused and lunging from task to task, and it's an all out assault on the concept of patience.
We've definitely entered the herding cats phase of this project. No idea how we're going to get to completion, hopefully we receive a miracle before someone loses their shit.
The inevitable and utterly confusing motion of launching a startup. Similar to two steps forward, one step back. With added layers of chaos and insanity pulling in multiple directions at once.
How did it go this week?
Oh it was another backassforward week for sure! Got next to nothing accomplished!!!
The inevitable reduction of effort after a great meeting that ultimately ruins momentum and places the team further behind schedule.
We were making good progress, and that meeting went great. Unfortunately afterwards everyone suffered a bad case of post-meeting collapse, and nothing has been done since then.
Someone who is so far in last, they think they're in first. A play on car races, where the last guy appears to be in first but in actuality is doing an absolutely horrific job.
How's Ted doing these days?
He's so far in last he thinks he's in first. A true backside leader. He's delusional.
The inexplicable desire to constantly chase after every new idea or opportunity, no matter how detrimental to your company, your team or your own sanity.
Bob just launched another product before the last one was even finished. He's completely out of control, definitely suffering from squirrel syndrome.
A term used in business for a founder that is completely bogged down with so many tasks and problems, they have no choice but to lock themselves into the office for days, or sometimes weeks. Completely isolated with nothing but their own madness to keep them company.
'If we don't get this stuff figured out, we're going to lose it all. I'm activating hermit mode, I'll talk to you all in a week."
