Oh, they all know it's not going to last. But they cannot say it out loud. Why? Because the stock price will be punished and because someone's empire building promotion will be blocked if they don't agree. Until they keep rewarding bullshit management practices, nothing will change. If the incentive system asks managers to build empires to get promoted, that is exactly what they will do. No manager is asked to be thought leaders. No manager is rewarded for making good calls. Management in tech is quite literally babysitting engineers.
