I work at one of the well-known tech companies. We have recently gone on a consultant hiring spree after previously having avoided external contractors for years.

With a team of five consultants and their manager, months of useless hour long meetings to answer simple questions that can be looked up in the documentation, and plenty of slideshows and design docs that are mostly filled with fluff, they’ve produced... a dashboard that I could have put together in about 30 minutes.

Whatever social purpose this contract fulfills is a total mystery to me, but all I can think of is what a waste of human time this is.
