The CIA wrote a manual on how to do this. It's a bit old and parts of it are outdate for some times of work, but a lot of it is still useful.

Misunderstand orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders
Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products
Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done (some might say normal businesses do this as a matter of course...)
Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible

Shit, 80% of the people I work with must have read that manual then. That’s a near daily occurrence.

Every web project manager I’ve ever had apparently lived by this manual.

What about the flamethrower attack on the Geonosians?

This is also the perfect manual for how to cosplay as energy vampire Colin Robinson.
