    I mean I kinda get it and a team with an understanding of a situation can handle it more efficiently and throughly but if I had to reason every management decision with everyone we would finish nothing at work.

      At a certain point, you just gotta label it as “management bullshit” as shorthand. Besides, is management causes confusion that makes it hard to get anything done, that’s their fault. In an ideal world, competition from the market would weed out the bad ones, but competition is pressure capitalists loves to mitigate.

        It can go too far in either direction. If you’re writing a report you know no one will ever read it can help to ask why and push for an answer, but it isn’t the driving instructor’s job to explain why you should stop at the red light.

      “I can explain” is different from “you can understand”, and chain of command means you do not have to reason with literally everyone involved/affected by your decision. So if used well, the drop-any-rule-lacking-backup is useful
