Thought for the Day - 17 February 2020

Working through a missive, which deals in some degree with the status of STEM in the economy and may appear in the next few days. The main point being, as Dr. McElhone was fond of repeating, "the answer is intuitively obvious to even the most casual observer". What's obvious is that much of STEM use in both the private and public sector is in non-producing slots. So, it comes as welcome support that real reporters have found explicit cases where that's true.
The former employee said that there were other red flags: There were more managers than engineers at Essential [fancy smartphone vendor that just went paws up], and many quality assurance engineers, even though there was only one (poorly selling) product.

I shouldn't say so, but I told you so.
