Ill never forget I was fired from an aerospace company for designing a new system that was basically a linear diagram compared to the highly complex nightmare web of mystery my boss had desgined for our current system, which simply didnt work.

I was given a chance to redesign and it and when I failed to add the added complexity I was let go.

To this day I reckon the higher ups are still having the same age old problems and excuses from their underlings regarding a system that has an utterly useless design. The guy in charge, rarely in the office, calmly explaining its a fantastic implementation, the new coders we are getting just cant work with it / operate it well because they suck.

I am not bitter, if anything it just made me terrified of being C-suite of any large company, knowing it would be almost impossible to understand why your company is failing.
