was this a "we can't save all of them even if we froze all activity as of now, so we ought to focus on a few and let the others muddle through with minimal interference" kind of thing, or a "I want an oil company job" kind of thing
well there's things like pandas, which are so loving bad at existing that they were well on their way to a natural extinction until we showed up and decided they were cute and wanted to spend millions of dollars trying to make them gently caress. so maybe he was talking about things like that.

quote:

It was on the islet of Stac an Armin, St Kilda, Scotland, in July 1844, that the last great auk seen in the British Isles was caught and killed.[63] Three men from St Kilda caught a single "garefowl", noticing its little wings and the large white spot on its head. They tied it up and kept it alive for three days, until a large storm arose. Believing that the auk was a witch and the cause of the storm, they then killed it by beating it with a stick.[64][65] It is the only British bird made extinct in historic times.[66]

I worked at a small place where the CEO bitched at the CFO about why his actual income for the year was 1 cent less than it was meant to be, like $199999.99 instead of exactly $200K. That's how you become a rich person, right?
In a well run company this kind of thing will be asked as a "How did this happen, and where did the penny go?" rather than a "Give me my fraction of a chicken nugget :argh:" Many minor discrepancies could be adding up to someone's comfortable embezzlement nest egg. Or asking the question is the first step toward discovering the corporate accounting software is built on floats

In a bad company it's just a crazy control freak freaking out over being "cheated" on principle

Also it's actually more effort to type without caps on my phone so go gently caress yourselves
