... I rather suspect there is a PHB with their fingers in their ears in HTC.
There is always a PHB .... somewhere, it just matters how high up the management structure they are.
If high enough they will 'improve' things to prove they are esential to the company, if low enough they are just a delay in getting things done and will be overruled eventually to allow the job to be finished.
Either way there will always be someone trying to blame the 'grunts' for the management F***Ups !!!
Never forget to get everything in writing and save copies off-site :) ;)
