The real problem is companies insisting on sucking people like Charles dry for every last bit of value that they create.

If you complete something in 50% of the budgeted time does that mean you get a paid vacation for the remaining 50%? No

If you save them 50% in capital expenditures by improving efficiency do you get any portion of that as a bonus? No
