I believe the phrase is "jobsworth", as in "more than my". The point of the article is that's kind of correct - the cost (risk) of deregulating is concentrated

I believe the phrase is "jobsworth", as in "more than my".
The point of the article is that's kind of correct - the cost (risk) of deregulating is concentrated, but the benefit is distributed. There needs to be some way to capture the value-add of removing a rule.
But if you do that the easiest way - turning the global metric of productivity into a target - then managers will asset strip, fire security (ahem, Mozilla), and walk off with a fat bonus (short-term productivity is up!) before people realise what's left is a the empty shell of a company.
And that's why good management is hard.
