I apologize if this is you ;)

But does anyone think these are the largest energy sucks on a project?

Basically they are the " I have never designed or built a project, but my book says your doing it wrong"....type of people..

Usually have no license (or relatable experience) but have a PMP :D

okay rant over...

 
Every project controls person I've ever known spends their days creating bogus cost control subledger numbers for people to charge to and closing them without warning, just so they can spend the next full day reopening them for everyone who sends them a scathing e-mail.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

 
Oh, and don't forget "we never budgeted for that."  OK, great.  Next time, you should maybe consult the actual departments when determining your budget so you don't overlook that accidental $10M expenditure.
