Usually I expect my second level manager to be the proverbial spin doctor on things that are truly negative. This is usually the case with by boss, too, as our employer is of the top-down variety of managed companies. But when my boss and his boss, both are in agreement with me and my peers about the decision-making that is taking place with the company then it has become a mad, mad world.
In the past couple of decades I have never experienced this kind of descension in the ranks of management. And there is no denying the reasons for it as nothing speaks louder than the consumers out there in terms of buying our services and in the stock market. It truly is a dangerous world I am now working in and it is a bit scary.
The lack of internally advertised reasoning in big decisions just keeps everyone wondering why two seemingly equal options are met by taking the more expensive option, which is ten fold more expensive. And then repeat, repeat, and repeat some more. How could major stakeholders, the board itself, etc., allow this? Rhetorical.
