Barny,
There you go again...just like your predecessors on this thread - ruining what was nearly a good and reasoned argument with a load of crap at the end.
You're mixing some sort of "military pride" with money. As Norty implies - The debate with Moreton-Wynwith is not about the bullsh1t you spout! That's what the soldiers, airmen and fishheads involved in these contracts are for.
In the so-called "PFI" environment of these contracts very few 'workers' deal with end-users and extremely few end-users see the actual work being done (IMHO thats why there are many problems and no real cures)
Mis-management is rife in all these areas - by both sides. But one side are just out to make a buck, which is why they signed the contract in the first place.
There is nothing wrong with making a Buck - but if you want to keep a contract it's also wise to keep your workforce on-side too.
And I suspect that the "fraternal" and "caring" performance of your company's finances is not all the truth you're being told?
