If you are part or play around of the sect of the majority, you hear words like these: “Keep your feet on the ground." The followers of the majority even well-intentioned try to put you down and bring you into the sect. “Keep your feet on the ground."

Nobody sees it. Nobody talks about it. Until one day you get the perfect image of a train, lights on, coming out of the dark… And the poor rabbit standing in the middle of the tracks. That thing is the Hand-Back Regime. And it is one of the most...
Resources. It’s always a question of resources. Your boss, your company, your client, your contractor. All the same. They cheap you in with the resources. "Save here". "Save there". "$10k more of salary for this key person is too much…" in a $1bn project! "We can’t afford it". Etc. Then, one day… We are in a rush.
