I had to go to a private Christian school in third grade - not because we were religious, we were not, but because gang violence was getting serious in my town and the private school was seen as the safe option my mom decided on for a year even though we couldn't afford it.

Again, not religious, but Christian school meant we had to go to "Chapel" every day - Sing bible songs and get the typical religious indoctrination. Anywho... In the chapel, there was a giant rectangular speaker box suspended up at the center of the ceiling. Not sure how but with all the talk of Jesus dying for your sins and everything, I became convinced that that speaker box was his coffin. I thought he was there, suspended above us, every day at Chapel in our little school

Seriously, they should hype and release a sequel to idiocracy, but have it be a legitimate documentary covering the last decade, but with the save tone and narrator as the movie.

What if Luigi was acquitted and launched a startup that sold guillotines at cost...

Also, your fixation here is on pennies and not dollars. Large systems account for waste and allow for less precise action. They do that because they know that enables less logistical slowdown on average and overall they will be more successful in big picture.

As you grow, you'll learn to focus on broad strategy and not get lost in fixation on individual tactics. Set good policy and allow people room within to figure it out - without a bummer of a nag in middle management meandering around trying to save pennies at the cost of dollars to justify their existence.

Doesn't matter what you think really though, right? These businesses operate on measurable KPIs and if overall thresholds weren't being hit, something would happen.

If you were a manager with that attitude, you'd be a micro manager and we all know that that type of manager, in any sector, SUCKS.

Yes, and speaking to quality in this case is not about individual performances, it's about overall quality of outcome. Are you familiar with Pareto?

Stop fixating on Janice in accounting scrolling facebook and how you feel slighted by her or Derek in operations who shows up 30 minutes late to meetings. The bigger machine on government side works most of the time, with transparent accountability, on that side, in the case of insurance, it emotionlessly kills people for profit on the other.
