That is not my experience. I recently reviewed some
work from an Indian supplier (household name starting with W) which had pathetic documentation and total lack of

Discipline is what happens when management sets performance standards and holds contributors accountable.

And in the Clintonian 90s, this sort of discipline was discarded and replaced with short-term faux-"prosperity"--and is still considered acceptable many places, while the accounting folks play games to hide the costs.
