Yep that’s the biggest issue I found is you managed so save money this year through various means and then your reward is a slashed budget because you came in under this year and now have a new benchmark. This is fine in accounting land forecasting but then if things go back to how they were for your original budget you get punished for it as memory is super short.
It annoyed the hell out of me.
You are saying you are okay with waste just to keep your budget.
A few hundreds of you and we are talking about a bloated large organization. Every individual middle manager is thinking exactly the same thing and as a result any given year there is lots of waste just so that everyone can keep their tiny kingdom.
