> given little freedom relative to their skillset.

When I worked for Ford, I would overhear conversations like this:

Manager: Customers are complaining, the pedal is to hard to press on the Town Car.

Engineer: The pedal is too fucking soft as is. If we make it any softer, people won't know if they are even pressing it.

Manager: Just make it softer. It is showing up as a problem on the TGW report.



Sounds like both sides of that convo forget to check of they are speaking the same language and understand the problem.
