Bean Counters & IT Managers
A while ago ..
We had a need to replace ALL the laptops and desktops (full upgrade cycle)
I.T. listed the specs and placed the order £70k
Bean counter objected
I.T. Manager jumped in and altered the specs to fit the "new" budget.
Kit arrived with 5,400 rpm hard drives and processors 2 levels lower than we requested.
Supplier refused to take them back.
They sat in the corner for years as they were slower than the kit we already had.
