They can often promise features and functionality on unrealistic timelines. If you involve them in that decision making process, it’s much smoother.

Most developers have no social abilities whatsoever so it’s not that they hat their PMs, it’s that they simply don’t know how to love

Product Managers are how the rest of the world sees HR. Y’all just can’t change it

Wait, what? You must work in HR

Developers are usually not fond of any management, much less a clueless product manager. You need to work with your developers first before promising the world to end users.

My least favorite PM experiences are when I give an estimate and they just ask me to make it shorter. Like what?? Not reducing scope or changing the requirement just asking for it to take less time like I can turn on afterburners or something lol

Ask them to prioritize the features and cut the bottom of the list. Remove those from your estimate. if they say they’re all important then remind them that they all take time.
