Building barriers between departments, in a company where communication skills are at an all time low.
Setting up little fiefdoms, with grand schemes which slowly become essential to the business, but have little benefit to the people now expected to engage them.
Fixing shit that ain't bust, and de-prioritising stuff that is crippling.

You heard it here last-
The only solution to the disease of aspirational middle manager types and other others of little commercial use, is monthly public decimation. Judged and selected by their peers as having contributed little but with great fanfare; let them line up in single file, and let the deed be done. Ideally using the very tools that they are using on others.

The car park would be a near Tarantinoesque scene of mayhem as HR get beaten to oblivion with a filing cabinet full of personnel records, or the bloke who keeps writing new programs to make his life more fulfilled (we still cant actually define what it is he really does, beyond soak up a salary); he shall meet his end by being fed the printouts of his own spreadsheets.

Viva da revolucion!

Sadly, you can't have your AK and shoot it
