How An Engineer Feels About Corporate Red Tape

We're all familiar with red tape, strict documentation people must follow as part of their jobs that...gets...in...the...way... of doing their jobs.

Meet Todd from An Engineering Mind. He works on LabVIEW graphical programming software and also happens to have a hilarious perspective on the life of an engineer.

If you are an engineer, he would love to hear what's on your mind. If you're not an engineer, then none of this will make any sense, and he suggests that you go back to YouTube and look up "funny animals" or something. Reach him at anengineeringmind@gmail.com.

In this installment of An Engineering Mind, Todd offers his perspective on excessive red tape in the workplace.

“It’s like documenting the document that I’m going to document so that I can document later on. It’s like recursive documentation.” - Todd
