If that is the game they want to play, you could refactor comments to get the highest value/effort ratio.

My Sympathies id start looking for a new Job

Ah like the place I worked at where some one spent 10 person years of effort to replace a perl system with the corporate standard Oracle one.

No value to the share holders but they ticked the boxes for probation managed a teem of eight or more and a budget of "1 million pounds"
