sandman said:It's just an example of what commonly happens in business.

Engineers want to build things and marketers want to sell things.

To increase sales, the engineer will demand to build a new furby and the marketer will demand softer fur. When engineers win that battle, companies tend to go out of business real fast.



Engineers gave us the Internet.

Faggot hipsters gave us Facebook.

That's all folks!

sandman said:The root is the engineering mindset. Whether he gets an MBA or not, at heart he is STILL AN ENGINEER.

Because the largest percentage of MBAs were engineers, and because the greatest percentage of business leaders currently are engineers or were trained as engineers, it stands to reason that the group that should bear the greatest weight for offshoring jobs ARE ENGINEERS.

What do I win?



I dunno...let's see...hmmmm....oh I know.

Why don't you go find some fucking data which backs up your assertions. I know and you know they're basically a hop, skip and jump into free-association and fucked-up logic but I'll indulge you just this once. Find some data that says the Engineering MBA's are the ones who did the most outsourcing.

sandman said:This is an important quote:

Complex problems ARE best solved by Engineers, not faggot hipsters who think a giant airbag deploying under an aircraft will make it crash-survivable.

Often, business problems are determined to be complex and engineers are dispatched to solve it. Unfortunately, it was an engineer that determined this. The engineer boss said that the old Furby wasn't good enough. We had to redesign it from the ground-up. The non-engineers, which had no power but knew of the business move, said that all was needed was a new servo to move the ears and softer fur. This would increase sales.

In the end, the engineers never finished the new Furby, and the company took a triple-pinch dump straight into a wooden squat toilet.

The engineers were proud of the new model, and formed a new company by convincing some jackass to supply the needed capital. The finally finished the product but by the time they brought it to market, demand for Furbys had plummeted anyway.

Had they put on some softer fur, sales would have increased, with the profits being plowed into a new product line.



Which hipster self-help volume was that excreted from?

sandman said:That was one example. So what? It is not statistically relevant. To counter this point, I posted some stats that said that liberal arts grads made up 6% of executives.

In short, why blame them? Why blame MBAs?

Blame those who were actually IN charge of these corporations.

The largest percentage of which, I gently remind, had engineering degrees.



Do you have something mis-firing in your brain?

If an Engineer gets an MBA, moves to a company and then starts to slash and burn the personnel and source talent from Currystan then it's an MBA doing that, not an Engineer.

No-one is this dumb. You have to be trolling or on meds or a complete fruitbat.

Cite precisely where I said that.

I can't be bothered. All you do is jump around and double-speak. You completely ignored the post about the fruitbat who fucked HP over, for example.

What you fail to understand is that you originally implied that a B.A. was worthless. That a liberal arts education was the domain of fruits who contributed little to business, and none to engineering.

Which is correct.

You implied that engineers can solve any kind of problem. You implied that MBAs and liberal arts fruits were responsible for outsourcing and other business travesties.

I pointed out that in the last two decades, the largest percentage of business managers have engineering backgrounds.

Yes but one isn't related to another. How many Engineers actively sought out an outsourcing solution? I'd say that number was likely very low.

I then took you by the hand (gently, mind you) and tried to reason with you. I told you that most MBAs also have engineering backgrounds. They were people similar to yourself. Thus, instead of blaming others for the business travesties you have observed during your life, you should blame you and your ilk first.

Again, MBA's from an Engineering background doesn't mean Engineers are doing the outsourcing. You'll find it's the pure business types and liberal arts faggots suggesting that.

I stated very clearly that engineers are trained to solve engineering problems, and you stated clearly that people who weren't engineers should stay the fuck away from anything technical. I countered this by saying that complex business problems are best solved by a diverse team which would naturally include engineers. You dismissed this.

Because it's horseshit. Complex problems ARE best solved by Engineers, not faggot hipsters who think a giant airbag deploying under an aircraft will make it crash-survivable.

Adjust the lighting, dude. Effective solutions are often the least elegant.

Bullshit. It's the other way around. You just couldn't crack it as an Engineer so now you lobby for continued abstraction to include fields you found acceptance in. IF it's a technical field then the Engineers do the technical part without interference from whale song faggots who should be dressed as clowns chained up in a pit and shot at for our amusement.

I try to be fair to everyone when I'm talking but he's just jumping around. Saying one thing then denying it. Engineers can't or shouldn't be business people according to Sean because they can't do business and that some whalesong faggot suggesting we paint everything pink would be better.

I submit that the worse ones to ever let near a business are the pure business types who know nothing about anything besides what they learned in academia and apply that rigidly. Let the Accountants handle the money, the Engineers develop and produce the product / service, the strategy boutique faggots do the marketing and keep everything in-house. Let the people who know the company best run the fucking thing.

So being an Engineer precludes us knowing about anything other than Engineering?

You seriously need to get the fuck out of academia and experience some real-life situations. Situations where you want to strangle the fuck out of some hipster who just made a suggestion which amounted to killing everyone and having a little dance.

Engineers are trained to solve SPECIFIC kinds of problems. They mistakenly believe that because they are skilled at math that they can solve ANY kind of problem. Not true.



Yeah, maybe we should take more whalesong classes and try to re-write the laws of physics while we're at it...

sandman said:For the film 'stargate', a technically competent but non-engineer figured out the design of a spaceship by turning a piece of metal upside down.

For Star Trek II, a non-engineer took the space station from Star Trek I, turned it upside down, and created a new space station. New sets were created by adjusting the set dressing slightly and then adjusting the lighting.

Engineers might discover that their current path is unattainable. A different path is needed. It might take a non-engineer who understands the project to communicate these changed needs and win over top management.

If psychology wasn't essential in business then understanding consumer behavior would be irrelevant. Engineers can't craft a new product if the market is misunderstood.



Your first two paragraphs are unrelated wank so I'll ignore them.

The whole point of Engineering is making the path where one wasn't before. It's not an Engineers job to understand the market, although it would help if he was in business on his own; it's an Engineers job to solve a problem or find a solution.

The point Sean misses completely is that a lot of Engineering IS actually visionary and almost spiritual. I guess he maybe tried for Engineering and failed miserably so now Engineering is bad and the root of all evil despite having a hand in just about everything he does, sees or experiences.

You're resorting to clichés now.

I know what I'm talking about. I have experience of your type of management where soft-and-fluffies have been allowed into the hallowed halls of the big balls where real decisions are made. It's usually a massacre and lots of times I've seen some faggot running down a corridor in tears because their suggestions were laughed out of the room.

sandman said:Technical positions should be staffed by technically-minded people. Absolutely. However, for large projects requiring a team of engineers, there should be a couple of people who are not engineers who should have a "vote" toward the direction of the project.



Why?

What possible input could they have? From experience this breeds absolute 100% FAIL every time.

sandman said:It is a compelling argument.

Most of the world economy is stagnant and failing. Especially in the U.S. Most of the business leaders in the U.S. have an engineering background. It has been this way for nearly two decades. Outsourcing has increased with their leadership. So has financial engineering. Is the answer to continue this trend?

Further, intellectual diversity has shrunk, not increased in U.S. Corporations. Intellectual diversity helps to reduce uncertainty in business decision making processes because you are able to sample a wider variety of options. Some of these options are counter-intuitive to the engineer and can only be developed by those who are not engineers.

sandman said:Dude, you are missing the big picture. MANY OF THESE MBAS ARE ENGINEERS, OR WERE ENGINEERS.

So it isn't the MBA that is the problem, it is the "engineering mentality". It is the desire to control uncertainty over the short-term via the employ of quantitative techniques.

Corporations have loaded themselves to the hilt not with MBAs or other duck-faces, but with those who think that the path to sustainability is paved by attempting to control and manage uncertainty.



So, what? Get faggots in to run everything? Pack the Engineering offices to the rafters with howling Gen-Y queers listening to Gregorian chants and 'imagineering' shit? That would never work in any technical-based field.

Take Google for example; a huge fucking company who own all their shit and when they need to develop for something they just build a new data centre and start hiring talent from that area. They provide the vision, Management provide the oversight and the foot soldiers churn out the product. I can understand a company like Google needing a global footprint more than Boeing.

But go ahead, fill Boards everywhere with your hooting gaylords who need four hour lunches, office massages and dark rooms to contemplate. Worked so well for the DotCom boom.
