Anonymous Jun 13, 2025 1:52 pmLOL "lean bureaucracy"Bureaucracy and its rules are used to obscure power--they serve the existing hierarchy and power structure. Bureaucracy is about compliance. Compliance replaces trust (healthy org shouldn't have to force compliance with rules). Optics replace substance (looking good not driving value).Humans are being treated as widgets in a compliance machine that's designed to extract value for those in power. It's capitalism at work: the powerful few set up these "value-adding guidelines" (they love bureaucracy!) for the human widgets to comply with, better guaranteeing the behaviors to add value that are extracted with extreme inequality.What's the going rate? 800:1 for CEO vs. median worker salary? Sounds about right. Reply
