It sounds like the usual inflation problem, where "ultra high priority" means "will never be done", and "critical emergency" means "please consider it if you have time".
You can call it "50 shades of red" too, where it starts with green/yellow/red color coding then everything becomes red and you have to differentiate between reds. So in the end you have to choose between "deep red" and "crimson red of the darkest night". It was a joke in France during the pandemic where the entire map was colored red, with the shade of red indicating the level of restriction.
- redisman 5y agoThat’s great. At my previous job priority “high” was “maybe in a few months if things magically slow down” and medium and below was basically never getting touched.
- discodave 5y agoGreat examples! I want to call that "priority inflation" as it sounds similar to the idea of "title inflation".
