The USPS is losing money. Got it.

HOWEVER...........

We're reworking our office, which include reworking quite a bit of the LAN architecture. We have a spare switch currently not in use. To move offices in accordance with their plans, we need more LAN access in one area.

My proposed solution..........take one of the site spares from the rack it is currently in, move it to the rack where we need more active ports, cable it appropriately, and problem is solved. Total cost=the labor required to do the cabling and moving the switch.

Management's solution:

Buy a new switch ($3500) and put it in the rack which needs more capability.

So.........


$3500 to buy a switch we don't need, but I can't get a $50 bench vise?

$800 for a welder, but we can't get another ratchet set for one of the mechanics?


Tell me again that it's labor's fault we're losing money.
