Things I was told as the engineer on one of these calls.

"There's a $100k bonus riding on this (for sales not engineering) if we can add this feature this quarter".

Too bad sales doesn't follow up with "Do you actually NEED a collaboration feature?" first before promising the development of a new one. 🤬
