Dead on. So many companies have modeled themselves after IBM that this type of bureaucracy is pervasive in most large tech companies that aren't Google, Facebook, etc. Nobody wants to rock the boat. Nobody wants to jeopardize the gravy-train. If something is blatantly stupid and you aren't directly responsible for it look the other way. Hell even if you are responsible but as long as it isn't too visible you're encouraged to keep quiet. What if you're given the go ahead to fix it but your team can't do it? What if corporate doesn't like the mistake to begin with? What if you're tasked to fix it but not allocated any time or resources? Nah, just keep your mouth shut. Honestly I too would hate "that guy." This isn't his fault though it's corporate's fault. Just know this is how things work in tech.
