Someone Didn't Listen To The Safety Engineer

Someone Didn't Listen To The Safety Engineer
The Boeing boardroom meeting meme perfectly captures what happens when corporate priorities clash with engineering safety! The boss asks why their 737 MAX had critical safety failures, and we get three classic responses: denial ("We did nothing wrong"), acknowledgment ("Poor Maintenance"), and the brutal truth bomb ("We cut costs and quality for profit"). That last guy gets the death stare for daring to speak the engineering truth! 😂 This is a brilliant satire of how engineering ethics sometimes get yeeted out the window when profit margins enter the chat. In engineering, there's a saying: "Good, fast, cheap - pick two." Looks like someone decided "cheap" was non-negotiable!

Engineering Team vs Sales Team

Engineering Team vs Sales Team
Three engineers standing there contemplating the laws of thermodynamics while the sales guy is already promising customers that entropy can be reversed. Classic corporate dynamics where the people who understand the technical constraints are silently judging while the sales department promises the impossible. And somehow the sales guy still gets the bonus.

Forever Chemicals, Forever Friends

Forever Chemicals, Forever Friends
Nothing says scientific literacy like confusing fluoride with "flordine" and thinking PFAS are your dental hygiene buddies. This satirical masterpiece mocks corporate propaganda with the chemical accuracy of someone who failed organic chemistry but still has strong opinions about it. The molecular structure is literally circled with "THIS MAN RIGHT HERE IS YOUR FRIEND" - because nothing says trustworthy like a perfluorooctanoic acid that persists in the environment for thousands of years. The 3M logo appearing twice is just *chef's kiss* - nothing builds credibility like begging for free tape from the company you're defending. Environmental chemists are currently printing this for their office doors.

The Eternal Engineering-Management Standoff

The Eternal Engineering-Management Standoff
The eternal workplace ecosystem: managers staring blankly into the void while engineers glare back with the intensity of someone who just found contamination in their carefully prepared cell culture. The silent battle between "we need this yesterday" and "that violates the laws of thermodynamics" plays out daily across labs and tech companies worldwide. The mutual incomprehension is so perfect it could be published in Nature as a new form of symbiotic relationship.

They're The Same Picture: Physics Edition

They're The Same Picture: Physics Edition
The corporate world wants you to spot the difference between two aircraft with identical wing areas, but physics students know better. While the shapes differ dramatically, both planes generate the same lift because—surprise!—wing area is what matters for lift calculation, not the shape. This is the aerodynamic equivalent of saying "2+2=4" and "1+3=4" are different equations. Engineers are silently screaming somewhere. Next time your boss asks you to find "meaningful differences" in identical quarterly reports, just remember: sometimes there truly is no difference, no matter how much management wants one.
