Regardless of what you think about the article. This rings so true at many Fortune 500 companies.
The number of times I have seen teams work through pointless bullshit to push some meaningless objective for the company. Just so the middle manager (aka “Director of SVP of X product of Y branch”) can get a bullet point(s) in the quarterly “all hands”.
Oh and those 10 developers/off shore people that were just hired? It was all to pump his/her “head count” number to get to the promotion to next grade/level.
Then when that person gets promoted, those people get scattered throughout the firm or just let go.
It’s truly just weaponized incompetence.
