One of my jobs at Boeing was as a “Project engineer”.
I was quickly taught to not provide all the information.
If the early cost of a system was known up front it would never be approved, but the system was needed. Catch 22.
Consequently whenever I was on a review board for other projects after given a projected cost and time line, I always assumed double to triple the cost and a longer time frame.
Hell of a way to do business. They are all liars.
I had similar jobs. I hated it.
So you're saying the upcoming revealed results of this telescope are bogus and not worth the investment?
That is funny.
After almost 30 years at Intel, we were expected to let management know as soon as possible of possible problems.
You never got punished or demoted because you raised a flag.
Myself and about 10 others knew about the Pentium “Floating Point Flaw” but we were ordered to cover it up by the project head who had sizable stock options based on how many we sold.
When word got out he ordered it covered it up, he was quietly fired.
