“#7733, you said a 20% improvement was likely so we’ve budgetted around that. We’ll have to make major cutbacks if we only get a 10% improvement”…
Ahh, you’ve been here before then?
The problem that this creates is that everyone plays the contingency game. If they think they can make 20% they’ll forecast 10%. Then the next level up covers their own ass and now it’s 5%.
…Which is why exec management turns it back around and doubles everything.
Where’s the trust? Geez, I get more and more misanthropic as I get older…
This isn’t the crazy part. It’s the folks who (on some level) know this is how it’s played (like it or not) and they chose to play, then seem genuinely surprised when there’s a cut. Now that’s crazy.
