I once worked with an SVP at a huge corporation that liked to engage in "bike shedding". This guy is like seven rungs above me on the ladder and is trying to tell me what fields each SQL table should have.

Then we got a new department director who was very good at keeping upper management distracted and off our backs. Lots of people in middle management don't justify their own salaries but I would argue that he sure did.
