Our electrical engineering team has developed this pattern where we all nod along when the senior engineer proposes solutions but then we spend hours after meetings redesigning things because his approaches don't account for the physical constraints we're actually dealing with in the field. We've been doing this shadow engineering work for months and I don't think he realizes how much rework we're doing or how it's affecting our project timelines.
More people experience this than they realize.
Your team quietly redoes the senior engineer's designs after every meeting, and he has no idea.
