[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 9175370, member: 40359"] Yes, it is wildly dysfunctional. But, sorry, it is also [I]really[/I] likely and the norm for large corporations and having worked in multiple businesses of different sizes, am zero percent surprised by this. It's so common, it's practically a cliche that as corporations become successful and grow, they become internally dysfunctional and fragmented.
