Oh no I assure you, this was an executive decision. The VP of manufacturing, specifically.

We don’t let Interns make purchase orders at all, let alone call shots like that. Especially not for big ticket items like these weldments.

Oh I feel this in my soul. Recently my company was going to buy some very important welded structures, and instead of working with the American company that we promised the business to, one executive went over everyone’s heads to buy these from the offshore team, despite protests from literally everyone.

They came in today each one is $100k worth of scrap metal. Absolutely unsalvageable pieces of shit. Truly a colossal level of fuckup.

Will the execs learn? Probably not.

None of us are going to get to vote anymore

A buddy of mine has a PHD in Cajun Fusion. Turns out, harnessing the power of the sun is only slightly more complex than a good gumbo. Who knew?
