# They put their logo on the thing
they're the ones that said "Yep, this is us". It worked fine up until the point where things went wrong.

# I've always thought that was why managers are so keen on outsourcing.
The idea that paying someone else to do something, somehow absolves you of all responsibility. A bit like paying a hit man.

# The thing about outsourcing is that it won't protect the company that did the outsourcing.
Imagine if a bank outsourced a call centre who accidentally gave away your banking details to a stranger. Your gripe is not with the outsourced company, it's with the bank. Sure, if it happens a lot then internally the person who made the decision might get a beating and the company might lose the contract but that's not your problem.

# Management.
Carefully managing a situation to achieve the least possible responsibility for it, whilst retaining any rewards.
