I’ve heard once a quite from a fellow, he had mentioned something to the effect of “brevity, or saying something concisely, seems to me to be the essence of what one would describe as simultaneously humorous and intelligent when presented as an idea.”

It always is. Once a bean counter produce an excel sheet, it is a sacrosanct document, regardless of if it makes sense or not.

No reason to blame a single accountant for the errors of a producer. Do you think producers take orders from accountants?
Croquette@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Yeah they do. If the accountant says the producer has X money to do something, then that’s it. The producer will need to ask for more.
This is how it works everywhere. This is why it’s so fucked up when you see companies with a higher budget for new hires than for keeping the staff. I can assure you that one or more accountants filled out an excel sheet and it has to track.

Uh, no it’s not. Producers are in charge of getting more money and representing the interests of the investors. They take orders from investors. They only hire accountants to count revenues and expenses.
Accountants are just human calculators. They literally just count. They don’t make any decisions unless they’re asked very specific questions like “how much revenue do we expect in the next quarter?” Or “how much money would it cost to do x, y, and z?”
Do you blame your calculator if you spend too much money? Or do you blame your bank if your account has no money in it? That’s crazy.
