We like to win by deeply discounting project fees and then understaffing to keep our engagement margin.
Makes for a great “learning experience” for our junior staff
Such is human nature.
We are apex predators, despite being smaller, slower, and weaker than our prey (wooly mammoth...hello). On top of that, we are handicapped by significant evolutionary liabilities like a calorically intensive brain and offspring who can’t walk, hunt, or reproduce for a ludicrously long time, at least by mammalian standards
So why, you might ask, are we so successful as predators. We don’t overpower our prey. We don’t have claws or saber teeth. What we do have is persistence.
We need relatively little sleep. We outlast our opponents. We chase the mammoth until it passes out from fear and exhaustion.
So what you’re observing at work is what’s been going on for hundreds of thousands of years

Lol interesting. That actually makes sense. Though, i would like to believe our dominance as hunters had more to do with how we use tools and tactics to outsmart dumber beasts, not necessarily out-tiring a mammoth with little sleep
Anyways bcg1 do you feel the same at your firm? Curious
S&1 i know what you mean... we work together
You have my permission to ignore BCG1’s post.
