Website example was a small private company with no investors. Like wtf? literally had to redo every web page and suddenly no one cares about the time spent. 6 months earler all huff and puffin "well India says they can do it in a month". Worst part is they won't acknowledge the months of work the US team put in to fix website. They only cared they had something even if it was trash.
Boondoggles/prolifrigates proliferate, unfortunately.
Lol no idea what you mean.
Basically that people and companies will spend a lot to save a little.
Ugh nightmare. Why don't they learn!?
My best guess? A need to protect the image they've constructed to obscure the true self, which probably isn't all that bad, in reality, but feels a misplaced need to compete with the images others have constructed that obscure their true selves. There's a lot to be said for manners, but there's a notable difference between authenticity and faux ego.
