I remember a couple of decades ago when my brother was working for JPMC. At the time they were an amalgamation of 13 or so large regional banks. They maintained the systems and the departments (like IT, etc) for all of the separate banks and had long-term plans to unify everything that never made any progress. Each banks' departments realized that if they did the work laid out for them that the axe was to follow so they all delayed and delayed and delayed and fought with each other for relevance. My brother was brought in to work exclusively on backups and to wrangle 13 different IT teams doing backups into compliance. They made sure that he didn't get his laptop to start doing his job for a full six months. Every department's backups failed every day. Every department had excuses for not being able to do the remediation work. After a couple of years of collecting a paycheck and making no progress he left and used the money to start his own business. I still wonder how much progress they have made to this day.
