^ it’s when they come in and present their weird wire frames with no research or strategy and give recommendations. When you show them alternatives, they dismiss it because it was not “according to my wireframes”. A bad project manager is like a bad account person. And like a bad strategist. So to quote you, “get out now"

Are you dismissing it Bc of the job title or does it make it better, something to consider. If you’re not ready for a world where new teams and new types of people not only have opinions, it’s part of the job to give them. Get out now. It’s going to get worse for you
