我是搞机械设计的。一次生产部的制造工程师越俎代庖对一个有质量问题的产品作了东切一刀西磨一块的改进,测试后这一不成形的样品竟然过关了。此制造工程师立即报告给负责的董事,此董事立即开会要设计部 make drawing to duplicate exactly the dimensions of the sample. I said I need to talk to the manufacturing engineer first about the critical dimensions, since the product was symmetric, however the modification was not. This director lost his temper and yelled "do it now". OK, my fellows and I immediatedly to follow his instruction, however, I made 3 versions of drawings including the "stupid" version. ... eventually he understood what I said when there were only me in his office and pointed it out quietly.
When the boss is yelling and don't want to listen to any explanation, and is forcing you make a report saying something nonsense liket aluminum is stronger than stainless steel in tensile test, you will understand the special feeling of mine.
