There's a problem in tech where people will work on stupid things a lot. Not just individuals, but literally entire teams will work on projects that are non-deliverable for years at a time, they'll deliver projects but they won't affect any metric of note, they'll do tech for the sake of tech, and sometimes they'll just simply not bother working. This will happen even in a small org if your leadership isn't essentially driven motivated, and willing to take action. At scale, this only becomes more difficult to manage, and the reality appears to be that almost nobody in leadership can actually keep up well enough to stop perf devolving into politics.
