Yeah. One of those underlings who maliciously strives to increase the earnings of his employer, despite his employer's entreaties to stop; and despite the absence of any personal gain to the underling in question.
It is a common problem.
You misunderstand.
The boss of course likes to see profit.
The manager realizes he can make more profit by overloading the ferries. He looks good in the boss' eyes and gets a raise. The boss doesn't do the audit to find out that he's making the extra profit by evil means rather than doing a good job.
