Show. To. Applicants. Oh wait, right, not hiring right now. Sigh. Being asked to present to rest of team on "Just what is it product management does anyway?" and thinking of showing them this. Love the way it insults EVERYbody. Could be a CLM (Career Limiting Move). Note to self: Never. Show. To. Applicants.

I'm the guy in the light colored suit, the newbie PM who says "Me, I'm a Product Manager"! This grew out of a meeting where someone complained about something to Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun (this was around 1992) and Scott said "You chose Product Marketing... Deal with it!" We all looked around, and said let's make a movie! This was way before YouTube and there was no plan to do much with it. Funny to see it so many years later! Many of those folks playing executives were actual execs, like the guy who determined pricing! And several are still there, like Anil Gadre, the guy with the roulette wheel! They were all good sports. Now, I'm making videos for my own iPhone app... check out www.NoTieSoftware.com! Hey, I’m one of the “stars” of this video!

I'm out of my Product Manager job in 2 weeks, and despite a brilliant resume and an uncanny ability to get shit done, haven't found anything else. This... well..... this made me feel better about that fact. Thanks Cranky. I laughed, then cried.
