how do whole agencies, companies, and cultures that were once high function succumb to mediocrity and then collapse into incompetence and nepotism?
it seems like poison or like plan, but mostly, i suspect it’s not. it’s just self-assembling self-disassembly.
it’s actually perilously easy to set in motion. the whole thing is just a simple emergent property that spreads like slime mold from the simple mistake of putting non-competent people at or near the top. middle and upper middle management is often the early beachhead. and that’s all it takes. this is why DEI so successfully and so inevitably colonizes and destroys everyhting it touches. it’s just human nature and let’s face it, a lot of you hairless apes are kinda problematic in that regard.
