I'm getting tired of middle management's interference in our work. I had to make countless changes because they think its more efficient/less costly, when in most cases the opposite is true. Of course, if you try to say something you are ignored. Our opinions do not matter, despite the fact that we are the ones doing the work they are talking about and know more about it than they will ever dream. Whatever.
