Yes the demand to have a documented policy, procedure and metrics for everything even if no one ever reads them, follows them or analyses them is insane. At the same time there's been this huge increase in the amount of useless correspondence and a cultural shift away from hiring people to help manage and filter this stuff so people can do actual work (aka old school secretaries and admin assistants).

- klabb3 4y agoYes it SHOULD be. But the anxious leaders want more data for no other reason than to look at it and think they're more informed, when in reality they are not. It's like being addicted to looking in the mirror. It's good if you can notice the chocolate around your mouth, but more than that isn't helping, it's just a hobby. Only in this case your hobby is destroying everyone else's joy and productivity.
