As engineers, we are trained to be problem solvers, as such it can be hard to give up on fixing or improving a situation. While an admirable trait, it can come at a cost both professionally and privately. We will discuss methods of evaluating scenarios that have become unacceptable and unmanageable and ways to either re-engineer your approach or accept that it is not worth further investment.
