@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us has moved (npub12pw…zvxn)
When I started work, it was common to get things done by doing favours and calling in favours. Those who were obliging and flexible did well. The miserable and ungenerous got no help, so they performed badly. Actions didn't come out of my budget or your budget. It was our budget.
Since this was a 'favours' economy, objectionable customers of course got an inferior service. Rightly so.
Then the accountants set up micro section budgets, creating fierce competition. Defending one's own pot of money became the universal top priority and everything froze. Instant, imaginative (and inexpensive) fixes became impossible and sloping shoulders became the norm. Useless meetings, position papers and disputes gobbled up funds, all in the name of not being the one holding the parcel when the music stopped.
