Repeat of ‘91. I knew a guy who PCs’d to Korea, then got told 3 days after he arrived that he was RIF’d.

Unfortunately, this is typical of any large bureaucratic organization. It happens because lots of different inside organizations are trying to meet their goals and sometimes those goals are at cross purposes. In the corporate world it isn’t unusual for Production to pay $200k to have a machine refurbished and updated only to have that machine sold as scrap at .02 on the dollar a week after it is up and running again. One would hope that there is involved leadership monitoring the inner workings of the various departments but my experience however is that leadership is more concerned with golf and internal politics rather than management.
