    Sure, I worked at Boeing for about 3 years before I went back to school and got my teaching degree. They would give me 3x or 4x the time I needed to do something. So I’d finish my project in like a week and play God of War and walk around for 3 weeks, and they still thought I was fantastic. They actually had me redo the flight computers for the CH-47 Chinook, it was insane because people just kept adding random code over 50 years to make things work to the point of it failing due to just the volume and inefficiency. I rewrote most of it in a month and they gave me 6. I’m guessing the guy before he just sucked or milked the hell out of it to give them the expectations.
