I was once in a conflict with a bunch of people at a larger e-commerce tech company because I railed against the practices and requirements of one of the stupidest projects that I was pushed into. The 'wisest' amongst the group, justifying his subservience, stated as an argument: 'they debate, they decide, we deliver'. I felt a visceral sense of disgust at hearing that and never spoke to this person again. He is doing quite well slithering up the corporate ladder, last I heard. The stupid project in question cost the company millions and died a well deserved whimpering death within a few months.
