      I am drawing from personal experience.

      This is a real thing that happened to me, after a CEO ignored a product that we had worked on for years - yeah why would he have any knowledge it was just the entire reason for the company to exist.

      There were 700 interconnected parts, many partnerships, many other businesses, many layers of approval, dozens and dozens and dozens of specs approval rounds that were signed off by dozens and dozens of people.

      1500 hours of meetings which you can extrapolate into 10,000 person-hours of meetings and post-meeting analysis.

      “My wife doesn’t like green”. Like 2 days before a critical milestone on a project with 50,000 visual assets.

        At least they were honest about their reasoning so you could just ignore it, right?

          What the hell is with people like you who refuse to acknowledge a valid point, and you deflect with this idiotic “you could just not look at the problem” mentality

            ? Me people ? What kind of people ? What point ?

            Either I’ve misread your comment or you’ve misread mine, because I thought we were agreed that CEO overreach is asinine.
