Restructures

Why is it that senior management always think they can fix everything with a restructure. If they just listened to the people on the ground they would know how to fix the underlying problems. Instead they go on their "off-site" retreats and work out restructures achieve absolutely nothing. Do they think that they will look weak if they listen to people who work for them or is it just sheer arrogance or stupidity?

Restructures are bad.

So are "weekly status meetings" to discuss opportunities to "leverage" the "low-hanging fruit" discussed during the "biweekly all-hands" meetings where everyone regurgitates the milestones and showstoppers you already discussed in a plethora of "one-on-one" meetings.

Ahhh, isn't it lovely spending 80% of your time in meetings explaining why only 20% of the work is getting done!
