When a PdM tech in the plant purposely misdiagnoses machine failures in the plant to garner attention and advancement within the company thus justifying their position as well as overtime. The downside is capital being wasted as well as extra unneeded work for the other maintenance employees who could be assigned to more value added work orders.
Denver diagnosed that the #1 I.D. Fan had a inner race defect. Management decided to shut the plant down and change the whole fan out. After losing six hours of planned production downtime the new fan had more vibration than the original. Another Chunkhausen Syndrome by Proxy moment!

Get the PROXY (software) mug."Ambition by proxy" refers to a situation where someone delegates ambitious tasks, projects, or goals to another person without actively participating or contributing to the effort themselves. This term implies that the person is seeking to achieve success or recognition vicariously through the efforts of others, rather than taking on the challenges directly.
When my boss constantly assigns me high-profile projects but never offers any support or guidance, it feels like he's practicing ambition by proxy, wanting the glory without putting in the work.
