So here’s a quick question for you: what is the shortest time that  you’ve ever worked at a product manager job? 

Product managers are  generally considered to be valuable members of the product team who work  on the product development definition and we can have a direct impact  on the bottom line of the product project that we are involved in. We’re  valuable and generally a company would be resistant to getting rid of  us as long as our product is doing well. 

That’s why I was surprised when I got fired after two weeks on the job at my new product manager position.
