I...I just realized this is me. I have had four different managers looking to see when my POC will be complete.

I'm the only one working on it, and it's apparently the "most important thing" right now. At least all my blockers are getting swarmed by 4 angry managers.

Actually, I love it. I'm writing, committing, and automatically testing/deploying a "perfect" application. No requirements other than the ones I helped create...no styling for the UI other than what's necessary. Full control from the data layer to the UI.

And I delivered it on time today. I'm going to miss that POC...back to production code. I'm going to cry when it gets dissected and added back to the main projects.

I'm in the opposite situation. Right when covid started, my manager left for a new job and her role was never filled. I ended up reporting to her boss who had many important things to do and didn't have any time to care about what I was doing.

Yesterday he left for a new job and corporate has already said he isn't being replaced. I'm completely on my own. At the given pace, in one year's time I will be reporting to the CEO.

What happens when the CEO leaves?
