At the beginning of this year I left my department of 9 years due to the recent hire of a bossette from hades. In one of our meetings we had a round table discussion of a failure of a computer on the mfg line which led to a line shut down. I suggested that ALL mission critical computers ...no matter where they were ...should be outfitted with redundant power supplys, mirrored hot swappable drives...etc in order to protect against the most common failures we were seeing on the shop floor. She immediately called my idea overkill and dismissed it.
So here we are a year later, I work for another department and was in a meeting with one of my ex-bosses technicians discussing a new line and he commented that the new standard for mission critical computers was they should be outfitted with redundant power supplys, mirrored hot swappable drives...etc in order to protect against the most common failures on the shop floor....

I can't tell you how many times that happened to me at my old job. Heck one of my exbosses even tried to take credit for creating a corporate instant messaging program. Funny it worked a lot like Aol... The nerve of some people eh?

When I was a legal secretary, a paralegal tried to take credit for form documents that I was creating, to impress her boss. I was standing right there when she told him that she had been creating the documents. I jumped in and said, "No, she hasn't. I've been sitting here creating them." The woman shutup and her boss just walked away. What an idiot!

I bet she used your idea after you left the department. A prime example of a company bringing in someone that probably had decent "manager" experience, but no practical experience worth two cents.
