    I can 100% understand that frustration of not cutting out the middle man. In some cases it would be highly beneficial. I remember the story where they customer wanted to have the back of passenger plane open up, sales guy sold it, engineers did it without question. At the end someone asked why, it was because the customer wanted to quickly exchange air… People loss their minds but management was too busy counting the money.

      It’s as if they don’t remember playing telephone when they were kids.

        “Hey boss, @ebc@lemmy.ca says they don’t like the new telephones? Says they’re made for kids or something.”

        @ebc@lemmy.ca: I still don’t know why I was fired… The boss kept telling me to shove the phone system? Maybe they meant push? Was I supposed to work on some branch of the phone system?
