Penny wise and pound foolish!

This also springs to mind.

We trained hard ... but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralisation

I used to be a Lloyds manager. Big Mistake!! Note the proportion of adverts in the PJ asking for Lloyds Managers vs. everyone else asking for managers. Variable, but it's usually between 50 and 90%

Could this not be because other companies don't advertise and use agencies such as Southern Cross?
