Incompetence

"1,500 was the original plan. It was a figure plucked from the air at the time"

This project was doomed from the start. No competent manager would ever 'pluck figures from the air'. They should have an estimate of the number of PCs required.

I can't believe that this level of incompetence actually exists in BCC. It is truely shocking. Other companies have managed to do this type of project, so why not BCC? Incompetence. Simple.

I just wish the management would get punished for it.
