#37: A DIY Approach
Many workplaces look fancy, shiny, and professional from the outside. However, once you start working there, you quickly realize the place is barely holding it together. Someone works at a big fancy company that makes high-end products. Their clients include several governments and luxury goods manufacturers. They probably have a really sophisticated chain of production, right?
Wrong. This person confessed that one of the main machines at the company only works when you poke it with a stick. With all this money and advanced technology, this place can barely function unless someone is literally standing there with a DIY machine poker. Classy.
