My experience is that bureaucracy stems from something - it has a cause, regardless of the outcome. My personal experience is that 99% of it is avoiding litigation.
Not sure what that adds to the conversation, just my experience with forms and layers of people paid to do nothing but sign them.
- joncrane 7y agoSome of it, sure. But it leads to people gaming the system. In bureaucracies, many positions/people only have the power to slow down or stop the process. People need to feel important and powerful, and they cannot contribute to moving a process forward because they are, for example, a cybersecurity analyst or a lawyer. So they say "well this process doesn't check box #134 on the list, we need to circle back and solution this" and they hang up and go back to reading reddit until the next meeting on their calendar. It's awful to be a "doer" in a bureaucracy.
