This is human behavior. It doesn’t matter if it’s private or public, when people get together in groups to do business there tends to be similar behavioral patterns and outcomes. This is why almost none of the stories of differences between governments and corporations are true; people are people. Also there are plenty of government cases of being rewarded for efficiency, and cases of corporate employees being punished for saving money. I’ve heard bunches of stories here on HN of programmers complaining about being demoted or fired or flatly ignored when economizing business processes.
