    This reminds me of a real world situation with a client which happened about 15 years ago. It goes like this: I had been called to troubleshoot a problem with a server. We were not allowed remote access, we had to work onsite and literally in the server room with a KVM (remember those?). The server room was a literal 5 minute walk from the incident room the client had set up with about 10 different people attending to talk about the impacts and the workaround they were trying. You get the idea.
    The client told me that it was mandatory for me to provide an update on progress every 15 minutes until the problem was resolved. I had to give the update in the incident room to the crash team and, I recall being told this very clearly... the update about progress 'is more important to us than actually diagnosing or fixing the issue. You MUST give these updates every 15 minutes no matter what'.
    What then commenced was a sequence of me giving an update, which took about 1 minute. Walking or running to the server room in the building across the street (5 mins). Signing into the room (security calling to check the incident number allowed access - every time) and going through an air cleaning space (2 mins). Me looking at the server logs and trying to figure out what was wrong with the daft thing (1-2 minutes). Me leaving the server room and proceeding back to the incident room (5 mins). Me giving the next update based on about 90 seconds of actual work. As the updates were virtually useless more people began to ask questions.... this mean that it would have been time to give the next udpate by the time I arrived outside the server room - so I just had a coffee in the incident room until it was time for the next update. Those idiotic people never even thought to themselves that I had not left, they just pitched up and wanted the next update all the same.
    I tried to explain the problem to the incident manager, but all I would get is a 'well I cant get a closer incident room', or a 'maybe you could phone the update in?' (no phone in the server room where I needed it and too noisy anyway). Eventually, realising this was going no-where I falsely blamed the issue on the companies own internal networks team and demanded that someone senior from that team accompany me to the next update them come with me to see the evidence of the problem in the server room. They sent quite a senior person from that team who listened to me update that the network was dropping packets then we walked to the server room. Begun to connect his sniffer....then it dawned on him -before his laptop had even booted, that it was time to go back. We left everything in place, and walked back to the incident room whereupon I started the update by asing if he had proven that the network was functioning correctly? Of course he could not say. I burned another couple of minutes again arguing my case and back we went. By now the companies own tech realised that I'd pulled him into an impossible loop. He made some calls, his boss made some calls and in due course the incident manager was spoken to and I was excused from any further absurdity.
    The issue with the server was located in the first debug session I was permitted to have that lasted more than 2 mins. The cient had changed the antivirus app on the machine from a supported and correctly configured version, to their enterprise a/v - which was not supported and was killing the server app from even starting. Service restored in less than 20 mins after a day of outage.
    Just because someone works for big company X and has fancy title Y it does not mean that are not a buffoon.

    The thing which may not be obvious to the novice is that you can address the issue of left-angles by simply allowing your square to rotate half way around. Left angles quickly become right angles, and that's an improvement of 50%! Of course some previously right angles may have become left in the process, but you can simply rotate again to overcome this. The ability to respond quickly with incremental changes like this is called "agile" development.

I don't find it that funny as I just feel my blood pressure rising as the memories come back. This is not a comedy but a quite accurate depiction of what it is like to work in engineering but in a way which is accessible to a wider audience. You could go places by offering this as a training film as it is quite an effective little film. Watch the ashen faces of engineers in the audience as they break out in cold sweat.

    Sometimes, I experienced situations like these when I was working in IT in the early 2000s. After trying to be polite and explaining like Anderson does, I soon took a completely different approach: When people started to spew clueless nonsense like Timothy, I got up, told them "okay, get back to me as soon as you remotely know what you're talking about, and leave me the fuck alone until you do" and just left.
    That ruffled quite a few feathers at first and some people became pretty pissed at me, but in the long run it did pay off: Those who were willing to learn started to comprehend how unproductive their behaviour had been and began to change (at least made an honest effort), and the others ignored me (which was equally fine by me, because that way I didn't have to deal with those muppets anymore as well).
    Granted, I lost one job because of that.
    But that was no big deal because the boss was a true cliché MBA (i.e. a certified clueless smart-arse who liked to deal with any problem by avoiding any head-on approach at all costs and just make your ears bleed with pseudocompetent MBA "big words" instead), and the company went Chapter 11 for the first of numerous times anyways about six months later.

      Thank you. I've met so many people w/so many degrees that each impress me and garner my respect of their knowledge in their field. To varying degrees, their diplomas mean something. They translate to something tangible in that person. And then I've met MBA's. This is only in regards to the MBA's I've met, so its not a large statistical sample, just my personal experience, but I struggle mightily trying to deduce from what I see in them what they were actually taught in those MBA classes. Its the only university program I've come across where one seems to know less upon completing it than they did when they started it. Its like one of those movies where someone goes off screen and comes back different, only to find out later that they were replaced by an alien in disguise who in spite of the quality of their disguise still doesn't quite fully understand what it is to be human.

      After paying my first website host quite handsomely, I contacted by email their services requesting help setting up my site. My particulars were all in order, site all raring and ready to go, chomping at the bit as it were. But getting my stuff actually on the web was not happening. One email after another was filled with instructions that had me backing up and backing up, and one prelim after another prelim, and I started questioning my own sanity. It was like, Did I really spell out the word Sanity, in my previous sentence, correctly? "First we'll deal with that," their email said, "and then we'll get back to your original question." And more of that, and more.
      And some more. LSS, I finally quit emailing them. Problem solved!
      It was funny in this sketch, but in real life, not so much.
      PS They went out of business less than three years later. Wanted to have a business with a passive money flow, i.e. money flowing to them, after an initial investment of setting up a "service" that would need no more labor to maintain, only work involved for them would be cashing the checks of their customers. Evidently I was one of the few who had it together enough to completely set up and run my own site.
