Every time the bureaucracy encounters a snag, some stuffed-shirt generates another form and another office to process all those forms, and everybody on the job has to spend MORE time filling out forms. The forms are a substitute for good management. People trying to run everything by remote control. People who are out of touch with the actual product or service, let alone the customer. And every time they get a bright idea, they make MORE busy work for their workers, and rarely give any thought to the challenges facing the workers. Just add one MORE task to an already-full day.
Every time MY bosses get a bright idea, I figure THEY didn't think the work I was already doing was a full-time job. "What do I stop doing in order to have time to do all this new stuff? Oh, you just want me to work, late, take my work home every night. I get it." In the schools, the big "diversity" push takes the form of expecting teachers at the college level to teach all the high school stuff they didn't get in high school, simultaneous with the actual college-level course. And the teachers are expected to continue to pass ill-prepared students on to the NEXT level.
Real cognitive dissonance. And they HATE when teachers push back and say things like "The standards for this course remain the same. The more underprepared students you inject into courses, the more failure you will see." My dean actually told us all to make persons of color ESPECIALLY welcome. What? Make a big fuss over somebody's skin color? How condescending is THAT? They think they're being tolerant, but they're really just putting a happy face on their bigotry towards persons of color.
You know what makes a person of color confident? Being held to the same standard as everybody else and SUCCEEDING.
