This conversation is enlightening to me. See I just always assumed business people understood how engineering works, but were being obtuse to keep us on track or were just looking at the financial spreadsheets. But no it seems some people genuinely don’t understand that sometimes you spend a lot of time on things whether or not it goes anywhere because if you don’t you don’t develop any products or solutions.

Unironically, this is why I no longer work in tech.

Another user pointed out 'Found the business major' and while that may or may not be 100% accurate... this person's mindset is absolutely, hilariously, stereotypically common amongst MBAs.

They know almost nothing about the actual business sector they end up in, they know almost nothing about the nature of any given employee's actual work, they just view everything through the lense of 'maximize next quarter profits'...

... It's all just 100% cocksure narcissistic bravado + 'the way i was taught how to things work is correct, stop arguing with me.'

And these people are almost always your boss, or your boss's boss.
