Realdoll management: when even a warm body doesn't matter.

n.b. some managers talk about head count as "warm bodies", especially in situations where politics requires large numbers of consultants on site even if they won't be particularly productive. "Let's put 10 more warm bodies in Houston, that project is billed at $3M this month and they expect it to be fully staffed."
