My first job i worked at small company with some old boomer ceo but margins were razor thin and products had to succeed otherwise the company would collapse. Even though he was a massive asshole he actually did and enjoyed doing a lot of the companies work and knew what the product should be, then sold it and managed all the customers. Did sales did marketing shaped everything relatively well. So other than the pay being utter dogshit the job was actually quite fun cos i made actual products that got sold and used.

Now i work in big business the leadership genuinely have no context or understanding of what the job we do is because they slipped in from consultancies where just lying and sounding clever is the name of the game. All they do is sit there and smugly repeat some buzzword or soundbite and look really proud of themselves while giving no direction at all. But they still love to micromanage? So they have no holistic view of anything but will make ridiculous demands of this small insignificant part of the work making it take months longer just to feel useful.
