Board 8 > Why do higher ups always make your work needlessly harder x.x

(+) Yeah! (+)

The team handling my job's app suddenly decided, without informing anyone, to send a verification email every time someone logs in. They claim it's for security, but it just makes it more difficult for customers x.x

the "tough decisions" made by higher ups are usually from misinterpreted data or bad information/understanding of a situation. they will then double down when they find out it was a bad idea so that they don't seem stupid

^ what he said

They think they get paid to have ideas so they push through a lot of bad ideas just so they can tell their boss that they're doing something. And they tend to keep around people who tell them what they want to hear even when it's objectively false.

I also suspect in cases like this there was a singular incident that made them feel like they have to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
