Middle management is too busy to talk to each other. Things are changing so fast that they don't talk to each other. It's easy to blame the new person as just not getting it, rather than 2 middle managers being on the same page. They didn't need me. They made the job as complicated and redundant as possible just to make it look like they were keeping busy. When you add hundred of unnecessary steps to a task, you end up hiring more people than you need. If Sweetwater middle managers weren't so busy with tasks that didn't need to happen in the first place, they never would have hired me. They didn't need me. I didn't sign on to upload just to download just to upload just to download just to create 10 copies, eat 5 of them, and arrive at a product that would have taken less than 30 second to write out by hand, only for that product to be thrown away and seen as no longer needed the very next day. This isn't rocket science. There is no reason to make things idiotic just to make employees look busy. Just to make a task seem more important than it is. Sweetwater could save millions by getting rid of stupid tasks, and getting rid of bad managers who make everything hard just to make themselves seem important, and getting rid of the redundant employees they only need to hire because middle managers made a 30 second process into a 2 hour process. Yes, it was just that bad. Not even joking. There is a saying that everyone should meditate 1 hour a day. Except for busy people. Busy people should meditate for 2 hours a day. That goes for Sweetwater. Sweetwater needs to hire an independent auditor and project manager to look at process improvement. Every tree needs to be pruned from time to time. Otherwise the vines grow wild with thorns. That is what I saw: a thorny hedge that was hostile to new employees who were smart enough to see the hedge for the thorns. You can't reason with thorns. You either remove them, or you remove yourself.
