There definitely is waste in big corporations, but not everything you don’t understand is waste.

- steve1977 3y agoSure. But in the things I do understand, I know waste when I see it (and I see a lot of it). I actually couldn’t see it as well when I was younger and understood less.
- rmwaite 3y agoMany times in my life someone tried to tell me something that I disregarded as wrong or misguided, only to (years! decades!) later realize the that they were right in ways I just couldn't understand yet. I suspect (and hope) this will continue for as long as I remain introspective and willing to learn and grow. I feel like this is one of those things that only time and the perspective it adds can teach you.
- lolsal 3y agoI agree whole-heartedly. I’ve wasted many hours in security committee meetings. But then a CVE was discovered and we were able to respond in minutes. Earned our compensation 10x over with that preparedness, even if a lot of being prepared looked like downtime.
- steve1977 3y agoI‘m not sure if that’s the scenario OP describing. In my experience, that would be a company that spends hours in security committee meetings and then fails to react appropriately in an actual emergency.
