We’ve all been there before, some higher-up has a great idea without the technical ability to know that it’s a disaster-in-waiting. No matter how much people protest, they just have to have their way. So all that’s left to do is comply and hope that if they can’t learn from advice, they can at least learn from their mistakes.
