> managers who want to look like they’re doing something big so that they gain status. So much this! I've seen many outsourced multi-million-pound projects that would have been quicker, cheaper, and better as in-house projects for a few hundred thousand. A senior manager doesn't want "In charge of a £100,000 3-month project" on their CV. They want to be able to write "In charge of a £20,000,000 2-year project". It doesn't matter that the cheap one works and the expensive one doesn't. |

The true currency in the work world isn't money it's status.
Money is only important as a proxy for status.
Having a lot of people reporting to you confers status.
