This is an ongoing issue in companies, and I think one reason is to shift the blame. What if they did ask the employees, and got either contradictory or terrible ideas? Who do you listen to? Either way someone is going to be upset and possibly feel more disenfranchised than before. If a 3rd party does it, they can just blame them.
- maxxxxx 8y agoGoing through a 3rd party is the easy way out. We are highly paid engineers so I don't think our feedback would be that stupid especially if we were informed about other factors like cost. We spend our whole day weighing different trade-offs for our regular work so I think we could do this also for our work environment.

If they aren't, and they're just willingly spending company money on something they believe will work, then they're just another out of touch spreadsheet manager.
