> "Delete all production orders for period"

Hah! I built one of those once! The (very abbreviated) conversation went something like this:

"I need a way to bulk delete orders."

"Umm... Are you sure? I can't think of a good reason to delete a bunch of orders in production."

"Yes. We absolutely need this."

"Ok..."

A short time later

"Why does it ask me to confirm? Just make it do it."

"Sure..."

A week later, after restoring from backup

"Remove the bulk delete function. I don't know why we even have that!"

Really demanding managers refuse to explain their XY problems... This one never did learn.
