The Young and the Talented 2

In my day to day experiences at the Shitshow, it never amazes how management thinks up new ways to under utilize people's skills. One of my coworkers is a very intelligent engineer with two degrees from an Ivy League school and not too long ago, he was sold on a new job assignment at the Shitshow as being "a good career path" by functional management. As it turns out, he showed up to his first day of his new assignment and his job was to use a digital multimeter and measure the resistance of wiring to make sure it was within operating specifications. Keep in mind that he did this 8 hours a day.....everyday. Dont get me wrong. This is a job that needs to be performed but by an engineer with a Master's from the Ivy League? Give me a break. This should be performed by a technician making minimum wage. Needless to say, this engineer has left the company for greener pastures after less than 2 years working at the Shitshow.

Because highly educated people's skills go unused and they become dumber with every passing day at the Shitshow, I throw rocks.
