    “Apparently there’s never the money to do it right, but somehow there’s always the money to do it twice.”

    Management never likes to have this brought to their attention, especially in a Told You So tone of voice. One thinks if this bothered pointy-haired types so much, maybe they could learn from their mistakes once in a while.

          Post mortems are for, “Remember when we saw something similar before? What happened and how did we handle it?”

            They should also include the recommended steps to take to prevent the issue again, which would allow you to investigate why the changes you made (you were allowed to make the changes, right? Manglement let you make the changes?) didn’t prevent the issue
