Recently experienced this myself. Management wants us to stop splitting orders to ship things from multiple warehouses because it is more expensive to ship. Sure I get that shipping $125 of product from the east coast to Montana might cost us, but shipping $500 of product from California to Michigan is still profit.
Not to mention that this change is also causing some people to just cancel their entire order.
Management is making decisions based on metrics that ignore the customer and I guarantee are going to really hurt overall profit margins long term.
The problem is the people making these decisions got their jobs because they're good at knowing people and shooting shit over golf, not because they actually know anything about what is good for the job.
During a sales meeting last week they had us watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CbZJL5sez0
"Emotionally manipulate your customers to get them to buy shit they don't need or might not be able to sell without thinking about it"

Another factor is simply sticking around long enough until they have the seniority to be promoted. The motivated people look elsewhere; the mediocre people settle for what they've got and slowly advance inside companies.
It's a mechanism of the Peter Principle.
