Outcast,
My last company had 40,000 people. Management knew how to run a generic company. They were really efficient at a lot of things like HR, IT and such. The bad not a shadow of a clue about what we were doing. My boss said “Here’s some drawings, take a couple of days to look them over and tell me if you would be interested in working on bidding this project, Corporate thinks it’s a good idea.” A half hour later I walked into his office and said “We have no business bidding this work. Corporate have lost their minds.” Boss says, “OK, but the decision has been made, you want to work on it?” Me “Hell yeah, really interesting stuff I know nothing about.” We spent a million dollars and then didn’t even put in a bid.
Really stupid stuff. But it was fun.
Here is another quickie.
Boss “Great news, we are the only bidder.”
Me. “All the sane companies ran away.”
That one is still not running and in litigation.
