This is what happens when figures are chased without understanding the whys. I've seen it in businesses that use KPIs with no reason to do so, I've seen it in rental markets that price match upward for shitty boxrooms and I've seen it heavily in government.

This is last generations Business Studies and Social Studies groups effects of being in middle management and seeing the leadership die out and them taking the reigns.

As middle management they could get away with mimicry and spouting lingo. Now they're in the shot calling spots and don't k ow what makes things tick.
