[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1466221, member: 27490"] There is a term for the concept: [b]Empire-building.[/b] [b]the practice of obtaining more power, responsibility, or staff within an organization for the purposes of (making more money).[/b] It is rampant in government when budgets are flush. It also occurs in private corporations. The General Schedule or GS personnel scale is predicated on level of responsibility. That translates to how many subordinates you have. If a manager aspires to a higher GS level (more money), they must add subordinates. There is an exception for non-managerial professionals, for example, a toxicologist, veterinarian, medical doctor, engineer, etc. Those positions have higher GS ratings that are [u]not[/u] based on number of subordinates. The means to control it have long been known. James Madison was known for coining the term - tighten the purse strings. Anyone who has sat on the inside (I have) is aware. If you have watched, administration after administration has failed to find the courage to truly reinvent government based on a model that controls waste. [/QUOTE]
