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.
