Personally, I'd just tell the project manager to 'test' their new release date by shoving it where the sun don't shine. That'll really shake things up!

Wow, neglecting my management duties and just executing tests? That's the worst way to handle this situation. I need to stay on top of things and make sure the team is working efficiently.
