I suppose I tend to believe that incompetence rules the world. I have family that worked in government. Incompetence and ass kissing and struggling to find excuses to keep this past quarter’s budget or increase it if possible – these things are the norm. I have found no evidence that it’s different in any other organization.
I wish someone was in control “up top”. It’d be kinda nice. The nature of organization is controlled chaos… or illusion of control anyway.
