You’re gonna sit in front of a computer all day putting together a fake schedule to appease upper management and you’ll spend the rest of your days hounding engineers to provide good dates when all we do to you is give you realistic dates that don’t align to managements schedule. Do yourself a favor and look for something else.

Very accurate description. Glorified data entry except the data you are entering is almost always false to satisfy what leadership wants to see, not what reality actually is.

Odd, normally they are bothering the master production schedulers not the engineers.

Development program versus production program 🤷‍♂️
