More critically, it's people that claim positions of authority while not having any clue of how real work actually gets done, making protecting their own position their primary goal. These people excel at playing politics such that nobody is responsible for any given problem, so once you get a critical mass it becomes a stable situation where little can change.

If you created a new company with ten random people from this thread, it would not suffer this banning problem as everyone would be aware of this failure mode. But if you fed the same people one by one into Google, they would each either succumb to corporate politics or quit, and at the end nothing would change.

These kind of bullshit jobs are the best argument for basic income. Our society would be better off if they were paid to stay home and stay out of the way.
