I remember the last job I had me (a team lead) and my supervisor were always fighting upper management to not set unrealistic expectations. They were always pushing for us to do more with less. First as a one time thing. Then again, and again, until they just expected us to work long hours every day to get the work done. Always over promising to clients and getting us in trouble. It was a nightmare.

Thankfully that was not the case with us. But they did think hey let's use cheaper products because it's cheaper that way. However those cheaper products gave lot's of problems and costed us extra time so.

@Kozi: Same with the chairs they had. They where old and they gave me back problems. But they rather tried to fix them only to break in a couple days again. Suddenly a new chair pops up and I am allowed to test it for a week. Sits well and everything so they order more. So new chairs are there and then after a week my coworker sits on the chair, leans back a bit and boom the back of it broke.

@Kozi: That sucks. We had a printer back when I worked there that stopped working correctly. It was also the line I worked at most of the time. We had a whiteboard where we could write problems down. So I wrote down about the printer. The week after it was gone. So me asking and they replied "yeh we will fix it". FIX IT! No we need a new one. The boss back then was like "Keep on bugging them until they get tired of it". So in the end (after months) new printer comes and after 3 days I was moved to a differnt line. Wow.

@vengeance: Haha, wow. Our printer just got taken for repairs, and never brought back. XDD;;
So, now we're down a printer. If the only one left breaks, the whole line goes down.
Whoops. Bravo, guys. :/
