I was working in a small tool & die shop, back in the 70's. We had a supervisor / estimator who got hired because he was a BIL to the owner. He quoted a large die job. Problem was, we didn't have the machinery large enough to do the job. We had 1, small, old boring mill. To machine the die shoe, the shoe had to be moved on the table, and outboard supports rigged up, since it was much larger than the table. The first millhand worked on it for 40 hours, and only got partly done. He got fired. The next guy worked on it for 2 days. He got fired. The next guy worked 1/2 a day, until lunch. He got fired. I took a long lunch, got a job at another shop down the street. I returned, and the boss wanted to give me the mill job. I told him that I was leaving for another job. Btw, the new job paid more, and was a lot better place to work.
