Dear Corporate Management, a word in your shell-like...
"We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form into teams, we would be re-organised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising; and what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation."

He later rephrased it in his 1959 book The Marauders, saying something like:
“Perhaps because Americans as a nation have a gift for organizing … a wonderful method it is for creating the illusion of progress at a mere cost of confusion, inefficiency and demoralization.”"
