Day 582 - Nervous Managament and Team Delusion

Management is getting more nervous every time.
Things are still not fully stable and insurance claims are delayed. This is still not a real problem, but if this continues it can jeopardise April's dead line.
Instead of helping the migration team, management react with the classical control move, forcing people to report more things. This will, obviously, increase the team effort and consume more time.

Many times management seems to blame its own team for the project delays, and most of those times it is unfair.
This actually results from political problems, since management has committed itself in a way that it can only look good by blaming its own team.

People are, obviously, very unhappy with this situation. I actually feel that the team is kind of "wrecked", they just don't care as they did before. In the beginning the team embraced this project in a very positive way. They always fought for the best interest of the corporation, but they have been unfairly blamed so many times by the management that they just "cracked". I sense that, unfortunately, management has destroyed one great team, one kind of team that one doesn't see every day nor everywhere.
