If you make it hard to fire low performers, value people’s work based on their number of direct reports, and make it nearly impossible to ship new shit, you’re basically setting your company up to die a slow death.

Or how laws base forced treatment on ‘risk’, even though risk assessments also lack evidence?
A carceral house of cards.
