Best Tool Ever!

We had an "IT All Hands" meeting for our group.  Some front line developer presented this “amazing new technology”.   It was so dumb I don't even remember what it was.   He told us we would all be using this soon.   Someone asked him if HE was using it.  He says "no, I just browsed around on their website and this looks cool"  No one ever ended up using it.

We have a similar issue. As a small site, the large, sector headquarters, site likes to force things down on us. Right now, it is a complete overhaul of the configuration management software. We have pushed back on so many things the other site thinks we need, but it does not work for how we do things here. So after a few years, one year with being forced out of the old system, we are still finding a billion issues every day. But the sector headquarters, as far as I am aware, have yet to touch it.

Oh no! The company has been sold!

and every assistant VP felt that they needed to immediately implement thier improvement idea to avoid getting sacked AND The over-promoted VPs pushed everything through (the company never made anything EXCEPT VPs.)

Needless to say %99.99 of those ideas were hair-brained and %50 thought through.  

RESULT: A lot of VPs used the fact that thier team "Launched" numerous "improvements" to pad their resume when they got sacked.

Now if a programmer discovers “amazing new technology” you should be really worried 😁.
