Thanks. Now I'm going to have nightmare fuel about one of my experiences as a young software engineer at a well known Japanese auto manufacturer in a Research and Development position. They had a mess of a software project which involved endless meetings on Jira issues, which became more about using Jira than actually solving the issues and making a quality product. This was all done on impossible timelines with outsourced teams that seemed to change every couple months. We also can't forget about editing every Powerpoint presentation N to infinite times, which mostly involved moving a box or changing a color. Any lowly Boeing engineers reading this - my condolences... Truly.

> outsourced teams that seemed to change every couple months But, of course. The productivity of the team they hired last month was just horrible, they didn't manage to finish anything! Of course they were fired.

It’s just as bad at Toyota too, trust me.

My current day-to-day apparently revolves around pointing accountants towards approved Aconex Workflows and the documents contained therein, after they email me in a panic asking for me to send them said documents and they "Don't see them" on Aconex. Yes, I am following the published-by-accounting templates and naming protocols. Someone kill me, please.
