What is the most difficult part for you in designing said program or service?

I don't know about the book, but I think MATLAB Tech Talk about systems engineering might be a good start for you: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn8PRpmsu08owzDpgnQr7...

Part 3 is about designing a residential toaster :)

These are some bad signals... but you are also being very serious. And if you are like this, it may be the wrong company for you.

On the other hand, I always assume people are trying to do good... Sometimes it may not look like it, but maybe that's because of some other factors.

just maybe:

- there are some new topics with vendors, that you will need to steer when you join, and actually it would benefit you later to join these calls.

- they couldn't set another date, but maybe the vendors are not that flexible and company will have to wait another month or so

- 4-5 meeting, it's like 4-5 hours, if you are going to work there for 6 months it's gonna dilute to nothing

- maybe he asked you to join the calls, but you can just not accept the invite, refuse, and nothing bad happens

- principal-agent problem, sometimes bosses do not know the details

- they mailed you the computer, why do you care, they can re-mail it
