This is utterly insane to me! I work in a lumber yard (yeah, physical labor <SHUDDER!!!>) where doing 30 minutes of actual work in a _12_hour_day_ would get a person fired, much less in _12_weeks_! I'm stunned that this sort of thing is fairly commonplace in the tech industry. Utterly atrocious productivity as measured by productive man-hours (pardon me-- person-hours^), yet billions upon billions of dollars get thrown at companies with the faintest of business propositions. No wonder our economy is fucked! But thanks for the highly entertaining stories, y'all! It makes me thankful to work for a (mostly) sane company, in a (mostly) sane industry, even if I have to bust my ass to make a living.

^ I am a proud East Texan, where we don't put a whole lot of stock in all the woke bullshit. No offense meant if you're about that life, but from our perspective, y'all are fuckin' crazy people. ;-) Love ya anyway, because we're all one big, dysfunctional American family, right? Hell, I've got family members who are batshit crazy, but I still love 'em. Anyway, /tangent
