My team doesn't.

Guess what? We get by without it, and we keep on pushing for machining sponsors around us throughout the year. So far, no luck - but that doesn't mean we don't push really dang hard every year.

Life's not fair. Good things come to those who bust their butts and work for it. Does that always get you what you want? Certainly not, but at least you're better for having tried. I'd rather see continuous effort towards improvement (with minimal results) than keyboard-warrior complaints about what others have.

It's the same-old we see in this community every time a discussion like this comes up - raise the floor, don't lower the ceiling.
