Being able to spend huge sums is exciting. (Signing off on £100k of mobile phones, or organising helicopter hire - what a thril for a bureaucrat and a middle manager!)

Having to work late is exciting as well. It makes everyone feel pressured and important.

It's hamster on a wheel syndrome again. It goes on throughout business.

Being steady, organised, professional and efficient is so much less enjoyable than a permanent crisis orientation.

...and show's you're not 'hungry', that you have no 'ambition' and that you know and can do everything when it's needed yesterday and the ambitious ones can look cool and unflustered and get credited with the end result despite the fact that everyone knows that YOU did it...THEY get promoted and you get left behind because if the powers that be get the idea that you should be promoted what who will the mabitious ones have to do all the work????
