What a load of HORSESHIT. Schedule slippages are always management's
fault. In every case. By definition. It is management's JOB to manage
schedules, people, and sort out dependencies before they cause
problems. If it's not happening, you are not doing YOUR job. Don't
blame some worker because your project managers are lazy or
incompetent.
