    As a mechanical engineer, I get asked by my management to expedite the machining just for the prototype I built to sit there unused because the person to run the experiments is too busy

      Sounds like they conceptually understand that engineering time is expensive, but have absolutely no idea about the process they are managing. Kinda like they are paying for the expensive experiments so the people doing them have to have a back log so they are always overworked.
