thought
no larger gap exists in this cosmos than the one between corporate policy and practice (and i say this with all the assurance of my 3 months of experience and 10 years of dilbert comics). this would not be of note in itself except that what fills this gap is the entirely-artificial batrachomyomachia between auditors and consultants, all of whom are paid many, many times more than i am. why are we always on the side that suffers because of bureaucracy instead of gaining from it? one would expect that being intelligent people, we really ought to be profiting from the stupidity. my hypothesis (and whatever you may say this is not at all elitist or bitter) is that we just have too much integrity to capitulate/capitalise -- else i would not so absolutely balk whenver people suggest that i haul my ass into something lucrative post-haste. it's not laziness or avolition, it's just that some things are just not worth selling out to, thus the same bootless conclusion whenever the grand money-making schemes surface time and again. it's that we know, deep in our hearts, that consultants and auditors, and sometimes even entrepeneurs, have sold their souls to the devil, and we would rather suffer in penury than tread that path.
