A strategy of saying NO to every request is commonplace, then should you pursue the matter further, depending on the pressure you bring then some degree of success is possible. Now when I discuss success, some actions will take up to a year to resolve. Their emphasis is to create difficulty so the average person gives up and the problem goes away.
Applying the principles of game theory, although not in a mathematical sense, you are able to slowly ratchet up the pressure to anticipate their next move so you can counter with either an offensive or defensive move. Most people view boxing as a sport where two people stand in front of each other and recklessly throw wild punches.
The skill of boxing is a tight defence where offensive moves are delivered in rapid succession with precision like accuracy. The same principles apply when undertaking a game theory scenario in my workplace, much to the annoyance of senior management.
The Department of No Further Action doesn't have the strategy or counter-moves to last the twelve rounds. Just like a boxing bout, you don't throw all your best shots in the first round against a strong opponent. You work your way in applying pressure using a strong technique to create opportunities for offensive actions so they make mistakes and then you apply the offensive move.
They want to play the long game in the hope that I will just give up, this isn't going to happen and one day they will wake up to this realisation. But to be honest, I don't think this will be anytime soon so they are just going to learn to live with the inconvenience of me being constantly right and them trying to shut me down.
