hjk10157314yJust send him with an excuse to the concierge closet. Go to the boss and tell him that PM is cleaning his entire house and car. He's already 70% done.
If the boss says what the fuck? You explain how easy it is to make wood promises on other people's behalf and tell him how it really is. -
xxzer07624y@hjk101 I'm already planning it.
When the time will come, I'll explain exactly what the situation really is to the big boss (hoping he would give a fuck) -
hjk10157314y@xxzer0 if he cares about his business he'd better. Now he gets no insight, over promises to his customers and the people who actually accomplish something are unhappy and under valued. Not a good setting for him.
By the way "wood promises" = "wild promises"

PM is not an IT professional but somehow leads IT operations ... (yes... I know)

PM: "Hey xxzero0, do you remember about the XYZ project?"
xxzero0: "Yes, tell me"
PM: "I told the big boss we can use it to make starships and explore the universe, I also said we can cut the developing time because we are already at 70% with it".
xxzero0: "....... Do you understand we planned to use this project to deploy a small ship in the sea?"
PM: "Yes, but you clearly inexperienced developer, don't know it needs only some refactoring to explore the universe"
xxzero0: "It is more complicated. There is no logic at all. It is just displaying data without doing anything and..."
*Get interrupted*
PM: "Yes, we need some refactoring, I'm such a genius."
