This is a question Corporate Idiocy

I lasted 14 months.
I tried learning SolidWorks while I was there to help alleviate the tedium, only to be told by the head of the CAD department that this was not allowed as I was an engineer, not a designer.

I had very mixed feelings about being laid off- on the one hand it was the spring of 2009 and a bad time to be jobless, but on the other hand I didn't have to spend another stultifying day as an Excel monkey.
