[QUOTE="CJinx, post: 1853719, member: 37078"] Oh, so the days of RPS when it was a subsidiary of Caliber Systems? Great. We're not talking about RPS management. FXG SRMs have the reigns of their own budgets and the DM only intervenes if they do stupid crap like buy a pinball machines for the office (yes, really happened) or, more realistically, spend tens of thousands of dollars for repairs because the pipes froze / heavy machinery seized because they wouldn't spend the money to keep the warehouse above freezing. (you'll get a new SM if that happens) The district level is fairly understanding of uncontrollable costs causing stations to be unprofitable according to the FEZ; they tend to get pissed when they see things like employee injuries or avoidable damage to company assets eating up the budget. Smart SMs think long term and make sure to end the year slightly in the red. Any money you don't spend, you lose. If the station operates successfully at 90% budget, 90% is the new 100% next fiscal year and you just lost 10% of your budget. This is why you see a lot of overdue building maintenance in April-June.
