I have certainly never worked anywhere where I could count on getting budget approval for storage upgrades any time of year. ("We're about to run out of space on the file server! We need to spend some of our budgeted storage money!" "Sorry, we're in a budget freeze, no capital purchases until next fiscal year...maybe.") And my users always use up all the space they're given rapidly, even when I buy storage based on their 3-year requirements and I double those.
Just one of the reasons I don't allocate space like this. I wish I could though.

Are proactive corporate environments not a rarity or am I just jaded.
