It’s true in my experience too that most workplaces are really inefficiently managed. At the beginning of each new job I tend to give benefit of the doubt for processes and decisions that appear nonsensical, but eventually I usually find out that a lot of the apparent nonsense was indeed nonsense. The hardest part of a new job is sometimes just figuring out which parts of the job is nonsense, and understand how the nonsense came to be. But then just because you understand the nonsense doesn’t mean you have the power to fix it! I have become more ok with it over time.
