If anyone is interested in actual business leadership stuff, watch Simon Sinek's Leaders Eat Last on YouTube and read the book. Really good

It's my experience that most engineers are useless cunts and understand very little of practical application.
wuzzyvear
What! Business is supposed to work for you, not you for it? Whoda thunk!?
rickrockqc
Well for working in a frigging big multi-national company as a mechanic tradesman, there are good engineers, but they are not in our company
alchemywill
Our good engineers are hired at competitors for more money leaving the clueless behind.
AnythingMuchShorter
Engineering one should still be towing a useless boss who is taking all the credit.
alchemywill
As someone who works with engineers, the first frame is the most correct.
Nobodyslogan
In my experience engineers make terrible bosses.
whywhywhythough
Bruh either way you're a slave. Quit working. Make them automate
aisuzo
This fucking perfectly describes my unit in the army except just the top panel and top comment are the recruiters

Tiny Octopus' favorite leadership saying is, "A leader without followers is just a guy taking a walk."

I had to read every single word in order in my head.
Carefuler
Need one with one big guy managing to move the stone himself, and a guy on top labeled "Engineering Manager" saying "You need to go faster"
clooney900
I've worked with some engineers, man, if ever there were people with no leadership skills.

I see a lot of engineering hate. Where I work it is the engineers that actually keep the pipeline going, despite artists going above and...

beyond to run everything into the ground.

Where's the one where the guy sits on his ass and hopes everything works out.

I don't get it, are the engines pushing in oposite directions?

There should be an unemployment line for the 3 people whose jobs were made redundant.
alchemywill
You can make most engineers redundant at the job site with a calculator and Google.
lilycurran
Having worked alongside engineers constantly, expected to see 10 engineers bickering about the design and running out the project budget
Mercenarity
Months of bickering with the subcontractors and city inspection only to discover your source blueprint's obsolete or just plain wrong. ;)
lilycurran
Right?! One time I had floating parts on a ProE diagram and when I asked the engineer about it he was like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ DUNNO
lilycurran
Pretty sure engines don't work that way lmao

I can imagine him snorting just like this. The magical floating power relay :D
theimgurappsucksballs
Needs a fourth one with a marketer describing it as something better than what it is
DannyDLC
Then the boss yelling at the workers thhat say it can't be done
attofreak
What I find weird is that they are still doing physical labour, when the business is now rocket propelled. Maybe that is what engineers do.

There's variations of this, but my Team Lead used to have this one at his desk. So accurate is frightening

It took me way to long to realize the first one is a tier swing.

There's one where the second one is a noose

CongratsYouAreHereNow
salesmen are the real heroes
AluminumMuffin
False. Salesmen are the bane of good engineering
CongratsYouAreHereNow
Fact. Engineers wouldn't have a job without salesmen
DiscGolfMike
100% BS.... Funny I buy bread yet have never met a bread sales person.
AluminumMuffin
Fact: those same salesmen wouldn't have that job without engineers. Recursion.
bigpooplog
Where is the tech fixing the engineers "great idea" so it actually works.
repsac
Precisely.
TTTForm
Hidden inside the business part
ShinyKefka
eventually you have get rid of the engineer to get the work done.

That's how it is at my work. But we give him/her all the credit
mercbrit
When this was posted the last few times and yesterday we discussed why there were jets both ends.
vladimiriputina
the engine on the left clearly has more thrust than the engine on the right. so i guess engineers are bad for business?
lysomaru

tookys
Did no one notice that it is still on logs and will get about 10 ft before plowing into the ground?
Nightcaste
That's why you need multiple engineers. We're usually ok in our specialty, but get us outside of that and weird shit happens.
Jarjarthejedi
Got to slow down at some point.
GiveMeName
Slow it down I guess
KingNova
Hey guys jets need to suck air in too. It's how jets work. That part is to suck. It goes suck, squeeze, bang, boom.
RetroBlast
Headlights on the front.
mercbrit
Light travels in straight lines not flame shapes!
ducklingsuck
I thought the left end was a light.
mercbrit
Light travels in straight lines not flame shapes!
somenerandom
Left.
TallEd
I guess the left hand one is meant to represent the intake although the colour and shape of the flames suggest the jet isn't even working
FrustratedBluffing
could be backfiring with a compressor stall or something
Ulthirm
it should have a blueish whiteish cone correct? because jets dont use flame to propel themselves.
13thDukeofWybourne
I hope people came to the conclusion that they are headlights
mercbrit
That idea sucked on account that light travels in straight lines!
13thDukeofWybourne
It does. The light is reflected by the dust or fog and from there travels in a straight line to the observer.
LookingOutAtTheDoomedEarthSheBreathedaSighAsEverythingHadBecome

Yea, but there could be a curvature on the lense

Dayrest
A guy I know posted this on FB. His boss saw. He got fired.
KeeleonOhms
Dodged a bullet. Wouldnt want to work for someone with this terrible a sense of humour.
Dayrest
Guy was fired for leaving the cooler door (kitchen) open all night. 100's of $ meat spoiled. Boss was on the fence till he saw this next day
Nathaniel93
I'm sorry but that was hilarious
Dayrest
I didn't like him anyway. Posting this was the last straw for him at work.
Mrmannnn
Sounds like his theory was proven right. Albeit in hindsight bet he wishes he hid that post
Dayrest
Guy was fired for leaving the cooler door (kitchen) open all night. Boss was on the fence, saw this the next day. Other stuff before too
SadCannibalNoises
I have that at my desk - well, minus the engineer part. I haven't been fired. Yay, unions!

I dont know you, and i was laid off, not fired
anotherdickat
He's probably lucky.
jondashjon
I'd square up with that boss before I left lol... I'd probably lose but he'd know I didn't like him lol
Dayrest
The guy was fired for legit reasons. This was just the deciding factor when they were debating for those reasons.
claiminglight
Dayrest
(1)Guy was fired for legit reasons, but I know the boss, and this is what finally prompted him to take action. Just too much.
Dayrest
(2) he was "actually" fired for leaving the cooler door open (3rd time) and spoiling a bunch of meat. Happened 2 days earlier.

Yup. Facebook is for fun, LinkedIn is for work. Do not mix them.

Kill the people over 30.

Coworkers are fine. AFTER you have established a solid friendship with them
NotAPervert
Never. Friendship turns sour, all of a sudden they have Ammo. Or they violate company social media policy, you go down too if found out
NotAPervert
Coworkers after a few years, or after you quit the job, maybe.
Anthraxwastaken
That's funny as shit, but I'm fairly certain that's illegal
repsac
Not in California.
Dayrest
He got fired for other reasons, this was just the last straw to break the camels back.
NotAPervert
Not illegal, but might not be a good enough reason to deny unemployment etc
squirreltactics
Not in a right to hire state
plus1s4u
Ain't at-will employment a bitch?
Wyattcon11
I hate this idea but from what I'm learning in systems engineering. Everything you do is subject to scrutiny, personal or private.
laowllol
From experience I'll add you will be working from requirements written by an executives incompetent yet highly employable family/friend ->
laowllol
Everything you do is subject to scrutiny, personal or private, yet everything the family/friend does is perfect and amazing.
Stratego89
That's definitely illegal...
Weelildragon
Firing imaginary people?
Dayrest
Guy was actually fired for leaving the cooler door open all night, meat spoiled. Boss was on the fence till he saw this.
NotMyUsualOnlineName
Not if it's an at-will or right-to-hire state. You can be fired for no reason at all in those.
Dayrest
He got fired for other reasons. But I know the boss, and this was simply the last straw.
CycloneSP
sounds like a bad boss imo...
Dayrest
(1)Not really. The guy left the cooler door open all night (kitchen work) couple 100$ of meat spoiled. Wasn't the first time...
Dayrest
(2) he'd done other bad stuff too, and they were on the fence about the cooler, but then saw this next day and said fuck it he's done.
Tinkrr
Engineers don't actually make particularly good businessmen... They just don't take into account a lot of things. I'm an engineer...
pandahbeah
Can confirm this. was studying engineering, ran out of money 3/4 of the way through a bridging course.
pandahbeah
Now stuck in a dead end job, with a knowledge of calculus and mechanics. I am sad.
Tinkrr
Look outside of engineering. I was a really meh engineer, I didn't get my stride until I started focusing on things other than that.
repsac
Not where I work. It is the artists who burn through the budget, it is the engineers that try and keep the pipeline on track.
Tinkrr
This is the fault of the management, no one should be hurting the budget in a way. Artists, Engineers, and others all have idealistic 1/2
Tinkrr
views, and it's the job of those in charge to manage those views with the budget. If they fail, then the company ultimately fails.
repsac
Most artists are narcissists and simply don't care. Management let's them get away with it because "We don't want to hurt their creativity"
Tinkrr
Most people are narcissist. Trust me, having to budget for engineering isn't any funner than budgeting for art.
repsac
You're trying to preach to someone who has worked in VFX for 15 years.
