I've been working in ops for quite some and only within the past two years got to work with PMs. Some of them are absolute pleasures to work with, but.. get more than two PMs on a call and just sit back and watch the chaos of Getting Nothing Done in full force. It's pretty amazing until the dread kicks in that those same bickering folk are making a huge portion of the decision making around the world. Bless the souls who can deal with that and do a good job at the same time..
My most notable experience with PMs was when a PM gave another PM a six month project to me and only introduced himself about a month before it was over. Normally, this wouldn't be that bad at a big company, but the dude was maybe 100 feet away and could've stopped by at any time. Ugh, I say!
