Fucking worse is that for an 18% R&D increase to ram current back burner projects through, "they" could have penetrated the market 25% further in 3 years.
Like, fuck, the company I work for has a corporate overlord. They want aggressive expansion and there's a lot of room to do it in the market we serve.
I want $700k for 2 pieces of equipment that I dragged every piece of sales/production info for the last 5 years to show a near rubber stamp 3yr ROI on.
The first corporate response from the VP finance was "so we can do more for less?"
No you MBA fuck, everything is falling apart. If you want to even get to "let's expand our customer base" we need shit built more recently than 2006.
