And my point is, the people who are making those decisions are just bubbling it down from the top, and they don't care if it's a good decision or not, just that they're going to look good for following orders. If everyone's doing nothing, and their boss is happy, then they're happy, too, because maybe they'll get promoted and a better raise and a better bonus. If everyone's getting a lot done, and their boss isn't happy, then they're not happy either, because they probably won't get the raise and the bonus and the promotion that they wanted. They don't care about the business. At all. Obviously some people do. But that's not the norm.
