"Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence." It's also possible that the person making the promises did so in good faith, but later found out they were unreasonable. Common scenario: management probably made promises before checking with the devs.

This doesn't really chance anything, though. If they made promises maliciously, they should be fired. If they made promises incompetently, they should be fired. Either way, they should be fired.
