Make sure every point you make is objectively sustainable and don’t deviate from the truth. People hate having rock-solid bullet-pointed lists describing why they’re idiots chucked at them.

These people read the cliffnotes and take everything at face value. Reasoning on material does not get you clicks.

Been reading too much Asimov, I see.

Why are we saying “engineers” when we know full well there isn’t a single qualified engineer in there that thinks this bullshit is a good idea?

This is management being management.
