They can only see as far as the next quarter's financial statements; whatever accounting manipulation can boost the bottom line and/or the stock price is what's important.
I'm watching this happen in a corporate giant now. But, it's okay, it's out of my control and the bonuses keep coming for these little shenanigans. If I speak up, I get squashed. I am heard though, just not listened too, so I leave it at that.
My 'supervisors' have for the most part been phonies who had no idea what they were doing and were subsequently fired
I wish more of this would occur because this corporation is chock full of those guys. However, there are good guys out there and working nights is a pretty good insulator from this crap. It's tough on the family life and sleeping cycle, but what the hell, it's a living.
