Hostile environment

It has been some years since I was in such a hostile environment.

I arrived at Unicredit in Munich and was put in as a Project manager for a project that had been postponed.
I didn't want to be a Project Manager as I am a Senior Business Analyst.

Anyway, since March I have been trying to deliver the original project scope and last week in a meeting with the Italian owners, I find out that the scope has grown substantially and a new Project Plan has to be made by the end of this week. This will have to be without the usual questioning of the business.

Testing of what we have done has been extremely slow. I have a very brainy guy, but like most of these people his social skills are far less than mine and he borders on Aspergers syndrome, which seems to be backed by the constant tourettes like twitching he has.
Everything I say or write he doesn't understand and I have tot take a good couple of minutes explaining everything to him, at which point he always looks into the air.
Trying to get deadlines from him is a nightmare as he never knows how long something will take him.

I find out that any validation of calculations we have to produce, has to be made by Risk Control. My tester and myself met with the main guys a number of weeks ago to which he said ' we do know about your project, but no one has come to see us and we do not have authorisation to be involved, but yes we are the ones to validate everything!'
However, he cut the meeting short as he didn't have authorisation to talk to us.
Last week in a meeting he said that he is willing to help and it was agreed in the meeting with the Italians that we have a meeting and I provide an overview and explain the project and what he needs to do.
So I sent a meeting invitation to which he refused!
Since then I have been trying to get him to provide a test approach and timings. Again being another Asperger type person he has been refusing.

So yesterday I asked another egghead if he could help. This guy is a Financial Engineer and has been helping us a little in doing the testing by checking some results.
I asked if he could help me by suggesting how long it would take the other guy to test, as he knew him and how he works.
I then get an email back saying that he couldn't help and that I shouldn't use him for my deficiencies!
He said that the guy had delivered his approach in an email.
So I showed him the email and said if you can gather the approach from such a few comment then you had better do the Project plan.
He then came to see me and then said that documentation was poor (before me there was no documentation and I haven't issued any to him yet)  and that I shouldn't go around the bank trying to meet people when I don't understand the bank nor the people!!
As some of you know that is the precise role of my job.

So all in all I have to produce a Project Plan to the Bank of Italy with the business not willing to play ball.

I have requested a meeting with my Manager today to express my disgust.

Let"s hope that my interviews in London bring a result so I can leave these inbreds!
Another English guy here who is a very senior person agrees with my synopsis of inbreds!!
