no, the real Elite go to management and tell them what they need to get the
job done. The good management will sit down with the engineer and go
through what's needed and why, and the pros and cons of going with
something they need to acquire rather than what's already available, and a
compromise is struck. OK, sometimes it does mean the engineer getting
everything on his wishlist, sometimes it ends up the engineer recycling
assets. I generally like to recycle assets. Being an Elite /and/ a manager,
I have the responsibility to myself to fulfil both roles, making my
decision process that much more stressful. Helps that some of my associates
are also either managers or nerds so I can talk to them about what I need,
and they can offer me directions I wouldn't otherwise have thought of.

I hereby testify that the above statement is an accurate recollection of the
events mentioned therein.
