    Yes that’s quite a funny and satirical way of doing it but it’s probably not actually the best way in real life.

    I think Boeing have proven this quite nicely for everyone, the company was much better off when they had actual engineers in charge. When they got corporate paper pushes everything went downhill.

      I have been on enough projects where engineers were in charge that went to hell to know that isnt always a solution. And yes I am an engineer.

      One of the projects I am on now the main lead is full PE civil and its a manmade clusterfuck well behind schedule, overbudget, and several corporate bridges burned. Haven’t even started digging yet.

      By far the very biggest cluster fuck I was ever on was run by a Chemical Engineer. A 40 million dollar disaster that never should have been even considered.

      Being good at technical problems (which frankly most of us aren’t) doesn’t mean you know how to do anything else.
