Re: Speeding up timers

As I think we both know, US bureaucratic culture (public or private) is highly adversarial; mgmt "knows" workers are sloppy, lazy,blah, blah, and workers "know" mgmt are evil, conniving fools who understand nothing. Both sides believe the other are overpaid and mostly useless.
Variations on this theme exist throughout our society. Sadly, while many decent folks toil on both sides of this divide, many more perpetuate the stereotype thus sabotaging efforts at cooperation.
I have a dim memory of a Muni Operator, who when he made a sugestion to the person at central control, was asked "what color is your uniform" as in, you aren't entitled to even make suggestions because you are not in a "title" which is permitted to think independently.

salute, and do as you are told. It is similar to NcD's having timers on the french fry baskets so that NO worker can over or undercook the potatos.
