These people have settled into the behavior learned from the repeated signalling to work like this.

I have worked in startups and small companies and after a recent aquisition have worked in large companies for the first time in my career spanning 30 years. I am absolutely blown away at the environment and the behavior it breeds. I have lost most respect for the human race that continues to endure this as though it is acceptable. So many managers, so much busy work: remediating vulns that have no impact, CBTs, forced collaboration and sharing, layer upon layer of shared services, arbitrary policies, byzantine draconian change orders, and all the crap that the afore-mentioned cause.

Every problem results in a new arbitrary policy (authoritarian bureaucratic reflex) that gets layered on top.
