Oh, we're late to deliver this thing? Schedule daily 1-hour meetings to discuss our lateness and make everyone write detailed reports of what they've done each day. Because nothing helps accelerating devs more than occupying their time with meetings and reports! The people who make technical decisions (which we refer to as Architects) stop doing real technical work once they become Architects. So over time they drift away from the reality of the things they're working on, so we keep having these decisions that don't make sense at all. And these people almost never quit since they make so much money, so it's rare that we promote someone who will then go on to have sane decisions for about 1-2 years until they drift away from reality like the others. We promoted a CFO to CEO, so now every employee, including R&D is just a cog with a cost and can totally be replaced by another random person in a 12h timezone difference.
