Sounds like my company's product team.

"Reverendender, are we ready to implement, train on, or support this product?"

"Not even a little. In fact, the product doesn't work for 60% of clients yet."

"We're pushing it through anyway."

We have the opposite problem in manufacturing.

"Do we have anyone that can run, train, or learn this process?"

"Not only no but the only people we have are critical on a different process and they're short handed."

"Ok well we just sold 10,000 units to dollar general and they're due in a shorter timeframe than it would take to produce them in optimal conditions."
