As work load is increasing over the rapid changes and dynamic business process & requirement, all are required to follow the orders and support the latest orders from the top management. Without valueing the capability of the implementor, all of us are treated as enabler without questions asked.

"Can your team support this ... requirement? How long do you need to deliver it? BTW, top management already approve this and die also you need to deliver it by next month"

Me: "Wa Lau Weiii ... !! (Day-Light-Murdering)".

That's the common scene which plays over and over in workplace. Being developer who don't have much veto power, we've to follow most of the time. Ultimately, I don't have much comment / complain on that as I belief I'm employed & paid to do those. But the funny thing is, management tends to talk about empowerment, "company asset" thingy. That's really confusing at times.

On one hand, you're reminded of how important your are. How you can change the company's future bla bla bla ...
On second hand, you're told to be a team player and work towards a common goal.
On third hand, you're told that you're just doing your job.

At the end of the day, it can be a sad and frustrating.
