- Controllers and Project Trolls
The real villains in every IT project aren’t bugs—they’re the controllers and project trolls. These characters delight in complicating things that should be simple, creating roadblocks where there were none, and generally making sure the human element of chaos is never forgotten. - Fakers and Bench Warmers
These are the guys who show up for the first few weeks, impress everyone, and then disappear just when the real work starts. Much like football players who never make it off the bench, they always have an excuse—usually something to do with "creative differences" or "not feeling appreciated." - Purchasing manager in the automotive industry
Purchasing manager in the automotive industry are the ultimate game players—good cop, bad cop, but with less charm and more spreadsheets. They squeeze every last cent out of negotiations, leaving you wondering if they ever liked your proposal or were just here to play mind games. - Tax Auditors
Fresh out of university, these auditors are armed with nothing but suspicion and a checklist of things to investigate. Their real joy comes from stumbling upon something obscure and insignificant but turning it into a major crisis that leaves everyone scrambling. - Employment Agency
During COVID, they became the unlikely heroes, handing out short-time work benefits like politicians hand out climate promises. But try navigating their website, and you’ll find yourself in a Kafkaesque nightmare, where every form feels like a test of your willpower. - Shareholders
Shareholders are the ones who, when things go wrong, ask, "What about the bottom line?" They’re always there, lurking in the background, waiting to see if the company is still profitable enough to justify their investment—or if it’s time to cash out.
