Two days?
I usually cut it down to half a day. I just made sure to document it.
Me: We should do it this way.
Manager: No, do it that way.
Me: This way will be faster and cheaper.
Manager: No, that way will be faster, cheaper and better.
Me: That way will fail because of X,Y, and Z reasons.
Manager: You're wrong. We should it that way.
Me: <emails>As per orders, doing it that way. I am concerned about X,Y, and Z
Manager: Stop being negative/you're a worrywart/X, Y, and Z aren't really problems
Me: <does it that way>
Two months later:
Director: This has been a catastrophic failure that has cost us $$$ and we lost the project.
Manager: It turns out X, Y and Z were unforseen problems. No one could have anticipated them.
Director: <points to me>You! You're supposed to understand this! Why didn't you know about it?
Me: <pulls out previous email>Well, acktually...
Get new manager, get new project, lather, rinse, repeat.
Fail fast.. This goes agains this.
