>>1976424Okay. What about that was wrong?
As an engineering team lead I spent 25%+ of my time manually updating secondhand reporting systems. My middle management then screencapped that data from a browser window, put it to a powerpoint, sent their 3-5 weekly slides to a senior manager, then got to sit in the corner of the meeting where an "executive analyst" or some other DEI job presents it to VP that reminds everyone the milestone they are working on was due 2.5 years ago.
After the engineering team, nobody in that chain knows how to access a model or a work order in any real piece of enterprise software. They have no way to touch or see the design/build record of the plane, and often they don't understand what that is as a broad concept. The VP told the senior manager to deliver a recovery plan to get back to the schedule while the middle manager cowered in the corner. Tomorrow the engineering lead will spend all day manually copy/pasting dates into the reporting system and all of the actual engineering gets outsourced.

All of this is completely fucked, and completely miserable to work through as a semi-competent engineer of any kind. You can see it in the aerospace companies that have started up within our lifetimes (Spacex/Blue Origin). They pick a CAD software, develop a uniform production environment that does everything from the same source, and that's it.
