Okay but they should recognize the concept of ROI and diminishing returns. An accountant should be perfectly capable of realizing that that after a certain point it makes sense to spend money hiring more writers versus bigger name actors or CGI.

You haven't worked in many large corporations, have you?

I've worked in a few.

I could understand if each department had massive budgets that were spent in an idiotic manner due to inexperienced and incompetent leads.

I could understand it each department got less than the bare minimum, resulting in a final product that was mediocre despite strong individual contributors.

What I don't understand is this mentality "hey let's spend $200 million on this new TV Show, but only 2 million on the writing staff."
