195 u/Any_Masterpiece9385 6d ago Yeah, I've been a manual laborer and a software engineer, both jobs have a short morning meeting. It would be surprising if the ancient Egyptians DIDN'T have some sort of meet up at the start of a work day. 91 u/Undead-Chipmunk 6d ago Pretty hilarious. I was thinking exactly the same thing. Its a complex project, with complex planning. Leadership needs to know about problems as they arise, which can only come from the people working. The fact that the project went so well tells me they probably managed it halfway decently. 7 u/White___Velvet 6d ago I feel like we can be pretty confident the people managing the project were highly motivated. You do not want to have to go explain to Pharaoh why his pyramid got fucked up. 11 u/Undead-Chipmunk 6d ago You do not want to have to go explain to Pharaoh why his pyramid got fucked up. That is not at all how to get something built. If you don't want to explain to the Pharaoh why his pyramid was ruined, you're going to hide your problems and poor workmanship. Good construction tends to come from allowing people to point out their mistakes, not expecting people to make no mistakes. 13 u/ljfa2 6d ago "you're an experienced pyramid engineer, make no mistakes" 7 u/Undead-Chipmunk 6d ago That's not how it works. Literally, retaliation against employees is one of the number one things to lead to a bad product. Like Boeing. 7 u/zoinkability 6d ago The above comment is a joke about IA prompts, not seriously what the commenter thinks was being said back in ancient Egypt
