I’m
always amazed at the lack of common sense that can be perpetuated in bureaucracies
and businesses. I happened to hear a story told by a speaker on television that
really illustrated the point.
A
delivery company had been experiencing a high incidence of thefts. A clever
manager decided that it would be worthwhile to have a second person ride
shotgun in the delivery trucks. This policy was instigated, and the thefts
dropped to nearly zero.
Everything
was fine until a financial type got into the act. This bureaucrat questioned
why money was being paid for a second person to be in the truck when there was
practically no theft.
Duh.
