Hmmm I know this itβs true because if management only thought quarterly, no one would ever hire anyone. Hiring someone takes 6+ months to pay off as they get up to productivity.

But the management immediately gets street cred for increasing headcount and managing more resources.

I can't tell if we're doing like a sarcastic joking thing where we're making fun of management, or if you really believe this. If we're joking around, then haha. If you really believe this to be true, then you have a warped view of reality.
The street cred doesn't come from managing more resources, the street cred comes from delivering more.
