How to Survive Death March Projects? (Part 1) - MES039
Hopefully you guys remember Episode 37 Hopefully you guys remember episode 37. We talked about Death March projects. How to identify them. What their characteristics are. The reasons they happen. And about your decision to stay for them.
Episode 37 was the introduction. This new episode starts to emphasize the four major aspects how to survive a Death March project. In this context surviving more means to stay psychologially unharmed than physically shattered. Regularly these four aspects appear in certain combinations. That's the reason you need to know all four of them to get the whole picture.
Today I will present you the first of these aspects. We're talking about negotiations in Death March projects. There are not only rational negotiations - the one you might know from your daily life. But there are also negotiation games and special trade-offs to put your free. In a first I will give you some additional support to make your decision whether to stay or leave a Death March project at all.
