Some people do not have the intuition that organizations should run as efficiently as possible and avoid wasting time or resources.
Some of us don’t want every organization to be turned into an Amazon warehouse. An organization that runs as efficiently as possible and wastes no time at all is one that’s pretty hellish to work in.
if you’re in a dysfunctional organization where everything is about private fiefdoms instead of getting things done…why not…leave?
Because the dysfunctional organization pays well. Or the the commute is really short, and I’d rather not move. Or this job allows me to stay close to a sick or elderly family member that I care for. Or perhaps the dysfunctional organization is sponsoring my visa, and it’d be difficult to leave and remain in the country. Maybe my co-workers are really nice. Or I think that any other organization that would hire me would be just as dysfunctional, or dysfunctional in a different way.
There are lots of reasons that people continue to work for inefficient organizations.
