In some organizations the folks at the top are not only nonsensical but unethical also.
They don’t want their work to be scrutinized by anyone.
In case you pose a logical and sensible question to them which has clear and direct business impact, but is uncomfortable for them and challenges their position, they will duck it in a manner which is utterly ridiculous.
In the name of “is it good for business” they don’t mind crossing the line of ethics, not once but as many times as required.
Ethics in such organizations is a direct factor of convenience.
As long as it suits their agenda (which might have many dirty secrets behind it) and doesn’t cause them personal discomfort and doesn’t make their position untenable they are all fine.
And if not, they will find silly reasons to justify their decisions and actions.
When challenged instead of discussing directly with you in a transparent manner they will have someone from their team come and meet you.
The message you get is “stay clear, better know who the top boss is and also that you are basically nothing”.
The pesky, boorish team member who comes to meet you walks in like a joker, sits next to you in an annoying manner while displaying fake friendliness.
He is the top man’s henchman, he is there on a contract-to-kill assignment. He is there to pass on the message from the god… oops… dog…. oops… top!
So silly!
So humiliating!
However, you need to carry on.
And you must carry on.
Pests and vultures will always be there in any organization.
And more so when those at the top are nonsensical and unethical too, you shouldn’t expect anything else!
If you do, then you are a fool or fooling yourself.
Don’t fool yourself.
Stop being a fool.
