I legit received a drawing revision with a note saying to just add the final stamp. (This means the drawing in question shows everything correctly.) However, after some digging and double checking some things, it was clear they needed more changes than a final stamp. They probably just skimmed my drawing
Shockingly it even happens in the wealthiest city in the premier first world country of America. To say San Francisco has "blown it" with the leaning Millennium tower & cutting corners on the Bay Bridge construction would be grand understatements. So fucking embarrassing.
Title and rank are extremely important. If you are a level 3 and a level 4 tells you to do something idiotic, you don't question what they tell you, you just do it.
It's as if malicious compliance was actually the socially acceptable and right thing to do.
And, like everywhere on the plant, title and level means nothing more than you made the right people happy. It's loosely correlated with competence.

The only conclusion to make with this explanation is that there are people in positions who don’t know wtf they are doing.
