Reply #43: My software engineer husband worked for sociology majors with

[LibDemAlways]

MBAs, English majors with MBAs, and business majors with MBAs. These people knew nothing about software or engineering and couldn't give him a fair performance review to save their lives, so they would end up downgrading him because he refused to kiss their stupid asses. The entire division of the company he worked for ended up closing recently because of the incompetence of the managers who couldn't attract any new business because they didn't understand the business themselves. His experience was similar to yours. When he started out, he worked for smart, technical people. As soon as they started being replaced by non-technical people, the whole thing began to fall apart. I would think it's obvious that an engineering company needs to be run by engineers, but I suppose that makes too much sense.

I agree that what's happening in the gulf is the result of a bunch of incompetent idiots at the top running around not knowing what to do.
