An old employer of mine that I fired was full to the brim of people who genuinely thought that nine women could make a baby in one month.

Like techies we pointed out that nine women could average one baby per month if that what they wanted over nine months but it requires another nine months of planning first.

They didn't get it. Just kept hiring fixed term contractors to "increase velocity".

The worst port of it was when my team was just the small internet hippy department that no one took seriously we never had these problems, then we got promoted to "proper department" and lost everything.
