You Know Not What You Want

Its interesting that in the O3 environment, the bosses can run the company by giving ultra vague and yet conflicting instructions.

For example, one day the mini boss asks consultants to design something different for a product. He said that other materials can be used than the usual. The designers spent 2 weeks coming up with nice designs. Today, the mini boss finally looked through the designs and said they were bad. Because we can't make them without using other materials. EH?

So, yes, no, yes, no. Square, round, oval. I suggested that he sit down with the designers so that they can find out directly from him what he is looking for. He caved. He decided to choose one of the prior designs instead of asking them to redo the whole lot for free. I bet he caved because he didn't even know exactly what he is looking for.

Imagine that. The O3 environment in all its glory, and the company survives and makes moolah for themselves.
