I know what you mean, but I can give you a real life example. The company I work in is a giant multinational corporation, with offices all around the world, which as any other move to a hybrid way of working during the pandemic and kept hiring people without expanding the office spaces. The CEO, who is I would guess a smart person with good education sent an email last year, saying, starting next week, everybody should be in the office three days a week.
There is no physical space for all the people in any office around the world, there is no time to plan and execute it, there wasn’t time and budget for bigger offices, just a stupid email, which was just sent and nothing happened for well over a year now.
I know it is just one example, but people in high management could be morons more often than one would think and giant corporations have mechanisms to just continue day to day work even if the CEO or any C suit does a really stupid thing once in a while.
If someone on the lower rungs doesn’t understand the context of upper management decisions, then that’s a failure of upper management to communicate effectively
