Who wouldn't eventually?

I've been to a project where, because the development and "hardening" budgets were separate, we knowingly pushed out buggy code so that we could take advantage of the latter.

Had I known that half of the job would be to game the system, I wouldn't have joined.

Bureaucracy is inevitable once a certain number of people join a group.
