the problem might be you could make a decision that is advantageous for you but not for the company

  I stated that my decision has benefited the companies so not sure what you're trying to say. Fine, it wasn't 100% clear: "it ended up being great every single time". By saying that I didn't mean that I got tingles in my stomach for using some tech, I am saying that I helped an employer stop bleeding money and human resources in a black hole.

  Yes. But if you're paying top dollar to hire a trained professional, and then refuse to trust them in their area of expertise, you're wasting money. You should either start hiring cheap staff and micromanage them, or learn to resolve your trust issues and instead focus on things you're presumably a specialist at, which is setting incentives so that hired professionals always have company's best interest in mind. -- Related: I sometimes wonder just how much money companies lose on trust issues. Even with regular people, I often see companies spending money doing everything imaginable to make it as difficult as possible for workers - on which, too, they spend money - to do their jobs.

    They lose much more than money. Rumors start going around; 99% of the cities in the world aren't THAT big that rumors aren't a thing -- they are. People start distrusting the company, it gets a reputation of "only work there if you're in danger of living on the street", qualified people recommend only their lower-qualified friends (or simply opportunists), etc. It only goes downhill for these companies and they lack the maturity and intelligence to recognize they brought it upon themselves and maybe start trying to turn things around. Oh well, screw them.
