one thing i can tell you from close to 15 years in Corporate America, is that people within the organization are sheep and unwilling to call someone on their bullshit. We wind up with poor, shoddy products, incoherent and insolvent investments of other companies all because no one wishes to stand up and tell the chief in the room that this is a bad idea. no one wants to be the blocker to an idea.

I've waved my hands plenty telling people they were making mistakes only to watch them make the mistake over and over again. In fact, I'm going to countless meetings these days wherein we're going to do just that. Everyone knows it but no one is willing to speak up to or against the higher ups. Pretty lame really.

When it comes to this looting, who in the end benefits? and how does the company benefit? the CEO probably and the investors that knew it was part of the game ala Enron, Tyco, MCI/Worldcom...
