one time I went to an afternoon work training/presentation organized by PMs where we watched a video called "measuring what matters" which was the most unbelievably vapid business shit you've ever heard of in your life. At the end a PM was like "and we will send you a summary email including a link to this video if you want to watch it again!" and I looked him right in the eye from the audience and shook my head; his face actually fell

I enjoy annoying PMs since all bar one have just been useless bean counters. I have largely been able to do my job just fine without them

A good PM serves to deflect blame and criticism from the team actually doing the work. A great one is one who knows this and only this is their role, and play accordingly.
