Company I worked for wanted a new public website. In the end they paid over 3 million for a Drupal theme. Impressive waste of time and money.

Absolutely impressive, any idea how did your company find agency to build out the website and cashed out three million dollars?

I've been on similar projects where the client is paying through the nose to a consultancy. I was being paid about £500 a day for my time, but I am sure they were charging the client much more.

		I got flown out and put up at a hotel for a week for a PR emergency (it was the 5th anniversary of a merger no one cared about but the new CEO wanted to do something about it) ultimately to make a wordpress site. Everything on my expense report got marked up some percent and passed off to the hiring company. I maybe got a little bonus for the whole thing, so not terrible? Not great. I read Bullshit Jobs a little bit later and it hit a little close to home.

To be fair, most of us developers are out there building what amounts to over-engineered Drupal themes.
