Re: IT project failure is now structural
"And of course, it's never their fault when you fail to make good on their unrealistic promises, now is it?"
The best thing to do when you discover such promises have been made is to start writing your resignation.
You can do it now with a reference or do it later when they're blaming you, but if you do it now you can parachute in later for a large sum, perform a heroic rescue and be handsomely paid.
