I've seen, so many times in my career, a system being built with blood, sweat, and tears over the course of 6 to 12 painstaking months -- and then the system being "given away" to someone over the course of a couple of beers at a happy hour. (that is, management re-org / re-assignment)

When I was co-founder/CTO I never acted this way, because frankly it didnt make sense. But it happens so often in real life, I wonder if this is more about human nature.



That is a different problem that deserves its own thread of discussion, not buried under my reply.


Totally agree. But imagine how much the problem becomes exacerbated when you have some employees in the offices, and others not!
