You thought it was bad for Obama? Buckle up, we’re in for a wild ride.

Saw the title, figured it couldn’t be that bad. Read the article. It is that bad.

A similar thing happens at the company I just joined. It has a “move fast” culture. I push for new roles that are genuinely needed now. My boss “approves”, but finance puts the brakes on for review. HR doesn’t want me yelling at them, so they post the job to “get a jump on collecting resumes”.

If I lose the battle with finance, the job evaporates. If I win, we scoop up the resumes, and hire someone within a week.

You’re correct in theory. However, in practice it’s likely to end up the same way publishing CEO salaries ended up leading to a constant rise in CEO salaries, rather than curtailing them, as intended.

First time?
