This is almost always the prevailing idea. "Management are doing this on purpose". Dont think that is the case. Its more like we hired a somewhat poor manager,

This is almost always the prevailing idea. "Management are doing this on purpose". Dont think that is the case. Its more like we hired a somewhat poor manager, that manager hired yet more poor managers who in turn hired even more poor managers. All of these poor managers finds ways to make themselves appear useful using what they know how to do: endlessly discuss things. The above is a caricature, but I think it has more than one grain of truth to it.
