It's not about "working" and being smart about it. It's about organizations headed by people who have never really created/designed/worked on anything in their lives. They "manage" it and of course are incentivized by their superiors (and their position/bonus) to value profit above everything. If it doesn't work - blame the lower levels who have to actually work in the dysfunctional corporate pyramid structure.
