They don’t care. They need to lead/rule over/command people. Second rate or not.

So many don’t understand just how wildly inefficient bureaucratic hierarchies are; what happens isn’t the most profitable thing, it’s the whim of whoever managed to claw their way highest up.

Basically, the decisions are the manifestation of the artificial stupidity of brute force.

Through Teams, Webex, Zoom, etc like they already do … all the newer nimble companies don’t care where you are.
