A strict 'work to rule' campaign seems to be the best antidote for such stupid short-sightedness. Which, as has been pointed out, has major safety implications.
Every time you blow a light bulb, immediately write it up - even if grounding the ship somewhere inconvenient for all is the result.
Taxy at the recommended walking pace that was instilled in your student pilot days - even if it trips you just over the duty limit and you can't fly the next shift. You may suffer some personal inconvenience as a result, but consider such action for the greater good.
Work-to-rule is about the only weapon left in a pilot's arsenal that has the protection of law behind it.

Managements often forget that daily we go the extra mile to get the job done, so a reminder may concentrate their minds towards where money is really lost - or made.
