Can anyone see a pattern?
The pattern I usually saw was this:
Me: I can see that it's a good idea, but there's several problems with it's implementation
AH: You just don't have my vision, if we don't do this then no one will give us a look in. We need something to take peoples eyes off Predator.
Me: Look, I've discussed this with the team and we all think that our time and money will be better spent focusing on the core aspects, like ensuring we have a fun, flippable game.
AH: In future any discussions will be conducted with me included. I make the decisions round here, not you.
(Meanwhile Andy leaves and brings back some other people, most of the time not even employees of the company)
AH: As you can see guys, this idea of mine is absolutely amazing, isn't it? just look how good it is. Now show of hands, which of you think that we should do this?
Me: Can I just say somethi....
AH: No, you've had your say, now guys, do you think this super awesome idea of mine is amazing and that we should definitely move forward with it?
(several people unrelated to the design team raise their hands)
AH: See? You see? I was right! It *is* a great idea, isn't it?
(the other people leave)
AH: I can't believe how negative you guys are, it's almost like you want me to fail.
I'm exaggerating here, but only slightly.
