I don’t understand why people believe rapacious corporations which only care about making money at the expense of everything else would also blow money on a shitload of meaningless layers of jobs?
I think these people think most corporations are largely fake top to bottom — perhaps even including the actual production of the corporation, if it’s abstract or confusing to them — and that the majority of the hires are just to keep the fiction going or something
Good question. Honestly, I don't think so.
I was once asked to manage a retired lieutenant colonel who was part of re-entry program. We got along great, but he got incredibly frustrated with the corp world. I put him in charge of relocating employees post-Sandy.
In the military one gets orders. They are generally not nuanced, vague, nor subject to the whims of the Shipping Manager. I've never worked very corporate corporate, but I've been corporate adjacent.
Often left scratching my head wondering, "What just went on here?"
