Are you in "Corporate America"? Because that pretty much describes EVERY large company in the U.S. At least 5% bloat of pure A.A. hires making big bucks for show, while others do the work they don't even know how to do. It's pure insanity, all to keep pressure groups off their backs.
All started in the private sector in the 70s with AT&T trying to keep a HUGE pressure group, the Nixon DoJ, off its back.
