The time honored practice of coming in after a competent manager / director, cancelling all maintenance, cutting costs to the bone, going to bare operation.

After a year, you move on up the corporate ladder, a hero to your peers and above, but reports, not so much. You saved money! You made the operation more efficient!

And then the next poor schmuck comes along and everything starts to fail -- gets blamed for everything. If he or she survives, it will be both a matter of Divine intervention and a serverely restricted future wherein his or her reputation is pretty much ruined.

Anyone seen this sort of behavior?
