My boss insisted we use a hand router for 200 linear feet of dadoes, but the track saw with a jig I built in 20 minutes was ten times faster and dead straight.

Has anyone else had a stubborn old-school boss who finally saw the light after a side-by-side test like that?

That "stubborn old-school boss" thing is so real. Sometimes they just need to see the proof right in front of them. A quick demo can change their whole mindset.

Yeah, I read this article about a factory that was stuck using these old paper logs. The manager refused to even look at a tracking app. One of the guys just filmed a shift on his phone, showing all the wasted time walking back and forth. He timed it and showed the manager an hour of lost work every day. The boss finally caved when he saw the real numbers. It's always about making the problem visible.
