Red tape and ineffective organizations abound.
Bureaucracies tend to be input rather than output oriented.
The primary goal of organizations becomes to perpetuate the bureaucracy by public relations rather than to accomplish primary long-term objectives. Job security is based on passing a probationary period and conforming to the organization's standards rather than on the employee's output. Promotions to the level of incompetence and raises in pay are handed out due to seniority and ability to conform rather than due to proven ability to produce. There is little recognition, tangible or intangible, for outstanding performance. Poor performance is seldom corrected.
