Another similar issue is, if you see a huge problem that will take lots of time to fix, and, if you take it on, your timesheets don't have enough time on the other approved new work codes. For this you will eventually be punished in the corporate way, sidelined, no promotion, no pay rise (.5%) and assignment to failed projects where anyone else who worked on them has long gone.

The net result of this is a wasteland of rubbish as far as the eye can see.
