Cons

Incompetent Senior Management - they need their subordinates to "explain" things in so many different angles with same information - hardly can interpret information themselves

Typical unionized workspace - things get down slowly and delays occur consistently

Admins are acting as babysitters - middle managers rely them on thing like printing their emails (why can't they print themselves and spend extra effort to forward, instruct, and wait the paper back)?
