Later, I get called in by my Data Specialists top management and I am quizzed by my big bosses as to why Cary's project is in big trouble.
I do a quick review of the project computer code for Cary's project, that Data Specialists has somehow obtained. I discover a few very poor techniques in the computer code that Cary's project is using. I point out that Cary's project is using some iterative processes that don't require a lot of computer storage, but do require a lot of computer execution time. Also Cary's project is using sub optimal equation evaluations, that result in divide by zero problems.
I am then quizzed about Billy's work. I point out that Billy's work looks something like what a not very bright first year high school student might produce.
My new Data Specialists top management then point out that Billy has a Masters Degree and is working on a PhD.
I ask, "A PhD in what?"
The answer is, a PhD in business administration.
I say, "You have several MBAs, Master of Business Administration, here at Data Specialists. You don't use any of them in computer programming work. Why not?"
The answer is, "A Master of Business Administration degree has little application in computer programming."
I ask, "Then why is the Lozenge Corporation using a Master of Business Administration degree candidate as a computer programmer?"
The answer is, "Good question."
My review by my Data Specialists top management then ends.
