That's why engineers are engineers. As a profession, they are trained to find the optimal answer to the questions they are asked.

The problem is, people are independent agents and generally prioritize their own outcome. If "being humbled" by some nonsense on LinkedIn gets you a high paying job that you perform poorly at, that's a win -- for you. Even if you get fired, you just roll with it and move to bigger and better things to fail up with.

Is it the best way to solve the problem the company has? No. But linkedin guy dngaf and is not asking that question!
