Corporate Absurdities
Having been in the corporate world for over twenty years, the blunders and absurdities in several sectors of the corporate world never cease to amaze me. I would welcome any real examples from readers out there that we could all learn from (and get a good laugh out of). Periodically, I will post incidents from my personal work experience.

I spent several years working for one of the biggest oil companies in the world. The senior executives would get moved around every two to three years. New managers would come in without the faintest idea of the business they were managing or the industry they were getting into. (However, that did not stop them from pretending they knew what they were doing). Before they had the time to understand much about the business, they would get moved out and another novice would be brought in. There was no accountability for wrong decisions. Senior leaders were great at covering-up their mistakes.
