Developer roadblocks
The first half of the page titled The Cost of High Security is bad enough but such delays do make a bit of sense. One MVP I know had to wait six months to start a new job in the U.S. government due to security checks. And he was relatively fortunate in that he had lived in the same zip code all his adult life so only one person (or team) needed to do the background checks.
However the indented and italicized story on the bottom half is fricking unbelievable. No wait, it is entirely believable. <sigh> The idiot managers at that corp are classic PHBs. (Dilbert's Pointy Haired Boss.)
