Due to get out of this crap hole tomorrow 
New guy has started. Currently doing handovers. He very quickly got the measure of the off-shore team. He has told the PM they are rubbish, like I have been for months. He [PM] is starting to understand just how bad they are. Epic badness. Total ineptitude.
He asked the off-shore team to document any final questions for me. I have been answering them. I let him in on one of the questions for comedy value. Basically asking how they could understand if a record was related to another record. After a brief scan of the data model the project manager managed to locate not only the relevant table, but the relevant column. His powers of deduction were not that impressive though, as if you were looking for a table that stored "Fruit" then a table called "Fruit" would be a logical place to look.
Similarly a column on the table called "Related_Fruit_Id" may have something to do with related records. He as a non tech got it. The off-shore team who have been in possession of the logical data model, data dictionary and have had numerous walkthroughs still could not get it.
They have to be trying to be this bad.
Off to new gig on Monday.
