I work for a huge financial institution. Every now and again some manager gets it in their head that it might be a motivating factor to say something like, “this is costing/going to save the company millions of dollars!”

In my head I’m like, “Yeah, so what you’re saying is that this fix/improvement is so trivial as to barely be worth anyone’s time.” If your company makes billions of dollars in pure profit every fucking quarter a few million dollars here and there over the course of a year is the equivalent of a middle class individual losing a quarter down a storm drain once… In their lifetime.
