It's the great squeaky wheel gets the oil management problem. A service that hums along quietly gets its budget cut. A dumpster fire that produces tickets and visible fixes/hero moments gets a big budget re-up. The basic issue is of course inability to predict the future, inability of management to properly judge things, etc. Management is: Charitable version: full of people that necessarily cannot have full context/detail and must make quick high-level decisions Not Charitable version: full of sociopaths whose primary job is to maintain or improve standing, and secondary concern is making good long term decisions for a company, so cutting maintenance or spinning slapdash solutions and failures as epic wins is more effective.
