When I was younger I spent some time in East Germany visiting relatives. From the inside most large corporations look like communist states with an planned economy. Tons of propaganda, a lot of phrases that mean exactly the opposite when used ("rightsizing" vs "layoffs"), refusal to name issues directly, appearances more important than facts, useless metrics, an emphasis on supervision instead of improving things and a leadership that pretends to talk for the underlings but is totally out of touch.
