Same even for code base my only job was to cleanup, it would be clean 1 week then split back into mess, sometimes by my own doing. The problem is always the same: there is money for result and result is time-sensitive, no money for form and form takes time. If I have to sacrifice a bit of form to reach a result on time, I'm afraid I'll do it rather than fire a colleague because we can't pay him and do beautiful code :s
