I saw a private school demand the head of IT (who had more then 30 IT certs and had a salary history making $500k/year) upgrade PCs with $10 eBay processors that were 10% faster than the old processors. There were $30 eBay processors that were 100% faster than the existing processors, but they wanted to see if $10 would fix it. Then they made him ripple down the old processors into other machines, and then move those used processors into yet other machines.
The head of IT was volunteering there, and finally got so fed up that he quit. Everyone in IT left at the same time and now the new head of IT can not build a PC, because a math teacher is the only person who will take the job.
Seriously.

What do you mean our short-sighted and demeaning solution has bitten us in the ass? Well no IT director means more salary on the board for us.” (I imagine it doesn’t actually happen like this)
