Everyone incentivized by percentage of money changing hands ends up looting whatever asset they have access to, esp if the resource they are burning isn't on the books somewhere.

PMs loot products by throwing in needless features to game some metric, or cutting features that users want but are "too expensive".

Engineers loot by burning resilience and multi-dimensional reliability to eek out 5% more straight line speed.

Sales folks loot by offering huge discounts to get huge deals signed, etc.

They look like heros, then they move on, leaving the place worse than they found it.
