I particularly like: all of the responsibility and none of the authority.
I personally searched: All the blame and none of the credit…. and here I am

So nice to know that we’re beloved.
So CPM, that’s a pretty good list. However, it sure looks like a lot of those searches are by non-product managers trying to get more information. If the searches were being done by working product managers, I would have expected to see things more along the lines of:
1. Save me I’m drowning
2. How to get more respect than the QA folks
3. Why is everyone else getting promoted, but not me.
and my personal favorite…
4. All of the responsibility and all of the blame.

I just found your blog yesterday and I think you are right on in your postings. The thing is, I still want to be a Product (NOT Project) Manager at a tech company. I guess that makes me strange indeed.
For those that searched “new product manager what to do first”, I say that until you understand what this job is about, don’t take it on.
