I know not everyone has the luxury of dealing with it in this way. If you don’t then I hope you can make your vote count. And if you can do this then maybe consider it.

You get a good chunk of it back anyway.

    Thanks for the insight! I work for a publicly-funded educational institution (a non-profit as well), and can attest to having to adhere to similar restrictions that you mentioned, albeit not 100% the same.

    What you describe here sounds like technical debt that was assumed by the organization due to an initial lack of knowledge/experience in an environment where sufficient restrictions exist that effectively stifle organizational agility. This lack of agility in turn results in higher operational costs.

    I think that’s ironic, because at the end if the day, the root cause of inflated operational costs happen to be the regulations/restrictions put in place to avoid frivolous spending in the first place.
