My boss went on vacation for two days and left me holding a flaming bag of dog shit.
The “homepage redesign” is crap, ill-considered, wasn’t vetted through any of the stakeholders, and no one thought about the cascade effect a completely different look and feel would have on the transition to the rest of the multi-thousand page site.
I just love having to defend a project that I had no input into and think has been badly managed.
And who the fuck pays $1M for a web site in the first place?
