I swear half of the BS that comes out of their socially awkward mouths could be discussed with marketing AFTER the meeting. no need to waste other departments time.

engineers are awesome
I'm sure they have a deck on how to wash rinse repeat strategy from ftards business school. These deck jockeys are so obsessed with their little piece of the world that they miss the plot entirely.
All to please their immediate supes to get to the next rung of uselessness.
Excellent! It's difficult to tell the difference sometimes because they are both lazy and entitled.
"How do you tell the difference between a slacker and a millennial? :)"
Easy. One is living in their mom's basement. The other is pulling six figures from Mattel. Both are just as useful to society.
How do we know kids aren't interested in pretty powerpoint presos? Have we ever tried a test market for them? They have about as much play value as some other crap we've put out recently.
so true, this site is filled with justifiably laid off slackers and current back biting narcissistic current employees who want to see if their being mentioned or laid off.
Ever notice how some over opinionated morons start their repeated posts with "ever notice...". Pathetic. Probably another justifiably laid off slacker posting here who thought he knew more than he did only to learn no one thought he knew sh--.
Hey, don't downplay the importance of pretty power point decks. It's not marketings fault parents don't want to buy and give their kids pretty documents to play with.
but you forget that they take all their time making those power points look so spiffy that no one notices that they've just changed the year on the line list. i will make sure i am no where to be found when they're in their yearly "i need help!" panic mode for toy fair.
ever notice how long it takes marketing to come out with your line list every season when it looks 90% the same as the previous season? why do they act like they're painting a Rembrandt when all they have to do is trace the stick figure from previous... tsk tsk
ever notice how marketing people think they know everyone's job, yet can't even describe what marketing is. Try it some time. They can't describe it. Not one of them. :)
ever notice how the so called creative designers drag a meeting because the can't get through a sentence without every other word being "um" or "like." pathetic. bunch of mindless dolts that should be spending their time using coloring books instead of churning out the crap that doesn't sell and tanking the company
The OP is clearly uneducated and insecure in their own role within the process. Everyone in the process is REQUIRED to have a cursory knowledge of all the other roles they interact with in order to best foster team work and dispel the practice of creating "silos". Engineering is usually the ONLY member of the team to versed in the complexities and reality of product development and to protect the team from being naïve.
If the meetings are too long, Marketing and Design, maybe you should shut up and listen rather than just voice your opinion or inept direction.
Isn't that always the case though? They are after all the driving whom without we would all be unemployed. They are tools we never want to handle.
What an amusing and naive statement made by one of our "talented" professionals. As a suggestion, let's try to bring a product to market without any engineering input. I am sure the arrogant designer and marketeer, sitting in a conference room with real pretty Power Point slides, will be able to deliver their ideas on time and at cost to the retailers.
Spoken like a true marketer - no clue as to how products actually function and get made. Stay in marketing la-la land, and let the grown-ups run the company, please. Stupid amateur,
FYI its spelled "livejournal" not "layoff."
