One of the most trying jobs I had was at a training/HR software development organization. The IT team would be drawn into hours of meetings where the psychologists would babble on about what to call a widget on the interface. The IT team had no input except to sit there, bored, listening to this nonsense. Apparently, it never occurred to management that the psychologists should battle it out amongst themselves and only draw IT in when they had "finally" made a decision. As you might guess, the IT team drew many late hours implementing code because they were forced to spend their work hours in meeting after meeting.
