Customers with unrealistic deadlines, with minimal information. At project completion is when information I should have had at the beginning of the project, flows from mouths.
I hear ya. And now I have the distinct displeasure of being the customer with minimal information because the product design stays in flux or tooling gets kicked off late because our customer kicks things off late but, heaven forbid, they should push back their due dates.
Then we have to hold to the crappy due dates with OEMs like yourselves, and run off machinery with prototype parts, instead of production-ready parts.
After that, there's only so much that can be done, and I gotta cut you guys loose so you can go back to making money, and I spend the next several months picking up the pieces.
