Are you kidding? Single sourcing saves, at a minimum, 40 hours of work
per project. Single sourcing lets you jam out projects more quickly and
accuratly than multi-sourcing. Single sourcing is quite different than
font fondling, single sourcing relies on structured content, something I
expected you to appreciate. You are missing the boat big-time on that.
No, that's not my complete list of options. But, are you suggesting that
the extra work be pushed off onto other employees. What, are you
assuming they were not also in the same overtime boat already? And, you
found money when you said there was none. Either there is money to hire
more people or there isn't.
I don't think consistently changing the rules and parameters of the
discussion is a very valid way to argue your point, but I have to admit,
it makes your logic difficult to pin down.

single-souring, font-fondling, information mapping, etc.) out to pasture
and
refocus the employees on core needs. "Sit yer butt down and write them
docs."
