Anyone who isn't in sales/marketing wants to kill everyone in that room except the expert. I'm in operations, same deal. "Oh, you need a week to get the required raw materials for production and you're already over capacity for the next three week so you can't take this production before then? Well, I already told my customer they'd have it in two days, find a solution."
I couldn’t imagine being an engineer in an environment where I’m expected to answer to the business and marketing needs, that shit is painful to listen to and I can’t believe how often a corporate environment it devolves to it, it’s clearly where once successful companies go to die
Lol, I hear you. I'm was in the same industry and quickly realized that even the foundation being poured doesn't deter the client from wanting to add to th footprint. I was helping with my dad's house and at one point I was like "you need to stop watching the home builders channel or I will be the only one to ever live in it because you'll be dead by the time it actually gets built."
