Don't blame the engineers, unless they went on to get an MBA after
the EE, ME, etc. I got out of private industry ten years ago for
these reasons, I was tired of design reviews where management pushed
the 'you can cut this out, it won't be so bad' line. Designs aren't
for the benefit of the customer, they are for the benefit of the
stockholder and the board of directors. What was 'The quality goes
in before the name goes on,' is now 'the profit is determined before
the unit is produced.' I'm not saying that profit isn't a good
thing, just that it shouldn't be the overwhelming thing.

On the other hand, someone has to take the project from the engineers
because if they don't, the engineers won't stop working on it.

Engineers design it and the techs actually make it work.


I suspect that is why the better engineers that I know buy their
Techs pizza every so often! ;^)
