The bureaucracy must expand to meet the demands of the growing bureaucracy.

Civ 4 quotes are best!
@@DrownedInExile Nimoy was good, but I prefer Sean Bean.
Bureaucracy is a measure for how many parasites you can have in your company that do nothing before it collapses. Look at Google. They had a ratio for 1/10 people actually doing work.
You reach bureaucracy critical mass. It only accretes at that point, until it goes supernova, meaning the company goes bankrupt.
He just summarized every workplace with more than 2 people in it.
Yea, because fundamental law is: You have to be a sheep to work for anybody else but yourself.
Hilarious to see MATT DAAMON!! pretending to be a capitalist.
Its what my workplace turned into once my boss retired.

? He is a capitalist. He's so completely full of shit @@fyrchmyrddin1937
Absolutely. The number one rule in any bureaucracy is that the bureaucracy is right. It's maddening.
Wrong, the number 1 rule in bureaucracy is that the boss is right or the bureaucracy makes it to be.
@@jomyabreu5134 Government. The worlds greatest pyramid scheme.
Why do we have to do this stupid thing??
Because that’s just the way it is.

Pournelle 's (Jerry) Iron Law of Bureaucracy: "While any institution may begin with the majority of its members working for the stated goals, over time, the institution will be dominated more and more by people whose sole concern will be the perceived status of the organization".
I was just thinking about this yesterday, and boy did I not think it nearly that well put. Thanks for sharing!

That’s why John Christian Falkenberg went on to form the first galactic empire, out of a loathing of red tape lol. Btw, in her book Meme Machine (which was a word she coined long before it got co-opted into captioned photos of kittens)Prof. Susan Blackmore calls it a Memeplex, essentially a neuro-linguistical entity that has a series of institutionalised rituals that have evolved over time purely to promulgate its own existence. Say for example Catholicism, freemasonry or the girl guides. A shining example of this phenomena In my own personal experience is while working off-shore for a minor startup company by the name of Chevron I attempted to report a torn abdominal muscle to middle-tier management. Despite the chronic pain in my nethers. Before being taken to the medics I was required to submit to a Star-chamber type meeting with 3 people in the ad-hoc conference room and fill in a bunch of forms including one that gave me a one to ten level of pain rating to submit before I was even allowed to attend the medics. After leaving the meeting they then amended my legal statements to saying I did it the night before in the gym. Unbelievable.
Jerry Pournelle is the GOAT btw. A truly underrated futurist. I have a much dog-eared copy of a series of his essays called “A step further out” that IMO is a roadmap of how we should be creating our species future. And he also co-wrote The Mote in Gods Eye with Larry Niven. Best first contact novel ever written and I ownit as a first edition that I still read once every few years.
"We don't measure by results, we measure by activity."
that's EXACTLY how it is at my gov org lol
Kissing up activity.
Brilliant quote from "Yes minister" series!
I've worked at a few state agencies. I can say that if you work at any kind of bureaucracy for at least a year, then you become one of two people: Leslie Knope who believes that 'the system' will solve everything, or Ron Swanson who knows that it only creates problems for it to solve just to continue its existence.
Didn't Swanson turn around on his views by the end of the series?
@@srdjan455 Yeah because it isn't a popular message to say more than half of the times the government does anything it will cause a problem or make something worse.
@@kingcuckoo Meanwhile private companies have a long history of making things worse.
@@srdjan455Ew, socialist.

There's nothing a drone resents more than a person with autonomy and creativity.
Enthusiasts with power are the ones who institute change, and in a changing enviorenment things become unpredictable and more enthusiasts and enthusiastic asskissers rise to the top ahead of an existing power structure.
Imagine you've spent years achieving and fortifying your position and then things start to change rapidly and you fall behind? A reason to be mad tbh.

“Why’d they add the ‘ump bit?” -Karl
I remeber working in one company , some 10 years ago and they wanted to implement scrum, with sprints and everthing. There was one piece of metric that everyone from management was obsesed with -> burndown chart. Basically you plan some work for two weeks and make commitment to do it. If you do, your burndown chart will look good. But after a couple of months, project become secondary, we had issues that clients wanted resolved, but nobody wanted they burndown chart messed. Project deterioated beyond saving, but our metrics were perfect.
There's a saying that engineers toss around: "Once a useful metric becomes a target, it ceases to be useful."
TPS reports
Scrum was a boon to my department, but only because the company avoided the trap of obsessing over it. In the early days, they tried waterfall: "go get this big project done in 24 months", and when it ended up taking 26, they were not happy. Shifting them away from that mindset and onto "okay, you planned to spend these two weeks doing these bits, and you at least got most of those done" was a godsend. And once that shift was ingrained, we moved away from "quantify the size of each task so you can do burndown charts" and boiled it down to just "focus on just the top few tasks at a time, random-ass new requests go into backlog unless they actually warrant bumping some of the previous top tasks".
Yep - it's always the newest flash in the pan headline grabber initiative that takes the attention from the board and says look at what we are doing - then it goes belly up quietly, and they roll out the next "look at what we are doing" plan, wash, rinse, repeat - and NOTHING gets accomplished except their bonus plan and promotions so they can move on to another company and sell the same B./S all over again..
@@emurphy42 This is the correct use of the methodology. The state to which it will decay when your company loses focus is: "It turns out we did not solve any problems in this sprint, but we did complete the artifacts and conduct the ceremonies. We'll mark this one green on the chart, and add a new sprint to the end of the current project plan."
Im not really a fast car guy, but this film was great.
Same energy as Moneyball for non-baseball fans. Introducing things to wider audiences!
Then check out Rush next, another great and modern car movie. -Main reason is that and this was made by the same director, I think.- OOF, they weren’t made by the same guy after all, they are both car movies only, no other similar point.
You may have just convinced me to watch it. I couldn’t care less about cars so skipped this one even though I appreciate both actors.
Great that even slow car guys can enjoy this movie.
@@miloelite It’s less technical than Rush, and sometimes more dramatic, it’s quite a good movie to recommend to everyone. Even more so to car guys because they will get to appreciate Ken Miles more, especially if they didn’t even know who he was before. Like I was.

Everyone that produces has to have a licence from someone that produces nothing , and now multiple licences from people who produce Nothing!?
☠️☠️☠️😂
Take out the bit about licenses and you've described the employee/investor relationship, and not a few CEO types.
Ya got a loicense for dat comment, citizen?
Not necessarily. Depending on the product, how it’s made, and the materials needed to make it, you could produce just fine. Being able to sell it or own the rights to that product is the thing that requires some form of license.
They hate him because he refuses to sell out like they did

Now imagine it but without worrying if they're turning a profit or keeping people happy, and you have government.

@@DrownedInExile I can’t condone your comment because I was raised in a very Woke Corporate Culture. PTO (paid time off) would be the same for a male, female, or androgyne with a new child coming into their family, regardless of by birth or by adoption.
In other words, sex and hormones do not enter the equation. Neither do heritage, or skin tone, etc., etc., as Joe said “you all know the thing…”. As far as HR is concerned all men are created equal in the sight of creation, some of those men are assigned female. Don’t really matter though; because we’re all gonna be treated the same anyway. To do otherwise would be against corporate policy 👍🏽
@@benevolencia4203 You completely missed the point. My comment was poking fun at corporate incompetence and stupidity. Nothing to do with equality.
@@DrownedInExile 😊 I know, and the humor did not escape me. However, I do have to stick with corporate policy in all matters, especially when I’m putting anything in writing ✍️ Just between you and me, I was tempted to wonder aloud if 9 men could get the job done any sooner.

Oh wait, you probably want a pay-check, every now and then. Nevermind.
In a fully developed bureaucracy there is nobody left with whom one can argue, to whom one can present grievances, on whom the pressures of power can be exerted.
Bureaucracy is the form of government in which everybody is deprived of political freedom, of the power to act;
For the rule by Nobody is not no-rule. All are equally powerless.
We have a tyranny without a tyrant.
There’s a theory that communism failed as there were no institutional brakes on their bureaucracies so they just took over and kept expanding (eg hiring family and friends) all of whom had to create something to do (as there were too many of them) and thus they slowly strangled business and commerce with excess rules and regulations (thus too many forms, meetings, time-wasted etc), like vines on an initially healthty tree, the vines eventually kill that tree, over decades
a theory?
And now the US government is doing the exact same thing.
@@fyrchmyrddin1937 Does it have a name though?
@@kgill99 The name as you correctly stated IS communism, and sadly any form of goverment no matter how free it may born slowly turns to bureaucracy of family hiring friends hiring family
It wasn't just that there were no brakes on the bureaucracy train, it was because the economic and social philsophy of the USSR was based on removing all spontaneous, decentralised and incommunicable social organisation (not just Markets everything) and replacing them with conscious social control. Above a certain size the only alternative to decentralised spontaneous decision making IS bureaucracy. To a large extent the bureaucracy in the USSR was a feature not a bug.

Excellent explanation of why I have been SELF EMPLOYED most of my life.........
I just had my wife get declined for a tourist visa from the Philippines. She is married to an American and has two American children but can't visit America!!! Yes I hate bureaucrats.
Just tell her to come anyway. They'll probably give her an internal plane ticket when she arrives.
Nah that's not just bureaucracy, but more so racism and xenophobia in the 21st century lol
Yeah pretty silly. We had to wait a year for my wife's (mye wyfe) CR visa and any other visa in the meantime is going to get declined for sure. But I'm sure you can see how the loophole will be abused almost immediately if they allow spouses to have tourist visas. Definitely don't tell her to come anyway. She won't get an "internal" plane ticket when she arrives. She will not be allowed to travel in the first place unless it's a stop on a cruise ship. They usually check travel documents before allowing you to check in to US-bound flights.
@@tingtang9302 If she can get into the country, that's basically what they do.
But yet illegals are allowed to do anything they want and get free government money for it.

Title shoulda been: Shelby v Ford v Ferrari
brilliant explanation.. very true
Great! thanks for posting this.
That scene is perfect, both started to laugh but then immediately contained it and the result is brilliant.
Honestly a tragic inevitability of human society.
The irony is that Henry Ford faced the wall of federal bureaucracy multiple times and was denied the ability to form a car company. It wasn't until after the anti-trust monopoly trials that he was 'allowed' to create one,...then immediately purchased regulation to close the door behind him.

Bureaucracy exists to make difficult that which otherwise would be easy.
On the other hand, sometimes those easy things were tried before and ended up being terrible ideas. Bureaucracy, like any other tool, can be over or under applied.
A competent bureaucracy would have kept the cybertruck from being released, for instance.
This is such a good monologue.
Absolutely true!
This is honestly one of the best films ever made
The very end being “well I was told to do it by the guy who pays those guys” is the final cherry on top
Love this!
Such a great film
Thats exactly how Jaguar failed in F1.

@@TrumpCantRead the best example? Accountants.
@@Alonelyalchemist who “hates” accountants?
@TrumpCantRead I do. I work in supply chain and I find that accountant types are some of the most univentive assholes who think you can make a company rich by manipulating aspects on the balance sheet.
@@TrumpCantRead 🤦🏼♂️…no. People like accountants hate the people out there getting it done. Production people, salespeople, etc. They think their job is the most important, but they wouldn’t have a job if it weren’t for the people generating the business. And accountants hate them for it. Exactly what miles is talking about.

The bureaucracy seeks to shape the people into something worthy of the government.
Bureaucracy is judicial branch, executive branch, and legislative branch all combined into one unit. This is why the founders didn't make them with the Constitution or authorize their creation. All of the three letter agencies are, in fact, illegal.
"It's easier to crush an idea than it is to change a company so bureaucrats will always take the path of least resistance." - Me, just now.
Great movie!
Government bureaucracy is even worse. Those ticks can't be fired. Big jobs filled by little men.
Where I work I tell people " embrace the madness " do that it will help keep a semblance of your sanity.
This movie was so phenomenal.

Great movie

So he knows what he is talking about.
Oops that's why life is so hard.
Turns out, I'm Carroll Shelby !
I think a lot of people missed the other half of the point which was literally in the last few seconds. Yes the bureaucracy is terrible but all you have to do to defeat it is go to the boss. Matt Damon's response was "It's coming straight from the Deuce" i.e the top boss gave the order so all bureaucracy is shattered/non existent
I love this movie. Christian Bale and Matt Damon are both great. I absolutely love the redline scenes though. I also love the scene where Shelby takes the Deuce for a “ride”.
This is more accurately describing the character of the bureaucrat. Bureaucracy is often double edged sword, but doesn't have to be. There is a delicate balance between order and chaos that should be maintained for progress. The people that do not like bureaucracy have no patience and the people that do understand its purpose. That said, with all systems, there are exploits and an exploit that is able to thrive for a while in a bureaucracy can be difficult to remove because of the policies and procedures. Point is, when you have a bug in your code, don't delete the entire code - delete the bug.

And sure enough, he got screwed.
Bureaucracy naturally expands. Naturally just like cancer. Rarely if not never things get more streamlined and easier.
This is why companies like Apple when they want to create a new long term product, such as the Vision Pro, basically create an isolated development team & send it to the outskirts of the company so that the team can focus on its development for years without interference by the rest of the company who all want a piece of it. There’s also no committee, they have one person in charge of it who reports to the CEO. It ensures focus, accountability & efficiency.

That's... not exactly what a bureaucracy is.
A bureaucracy is any circumstance where someone is charged with carrying out, or must deal with the consequences of, a decision that they did not make.
Any job where a supervisor can tell an employee to go take care of something and the employee or employees have no recourse but to obey is a bureaucracy.

There is a chinese saying that goes like; "The bureucracy is expanding, to meet the needs of the expanding bureucracy."
This is what is killing Japan since the 1990's. Entrenched "can't try new things" thinking.
It used to be called, "By a the Book" and it only works until the next innovation by the other guy. We Americans used to be the "other guy". Now the bureaucracy has taken over.
I assure you NOTHING is killing Japan. the problem is that Western EGOS are simply unable to see that the Japanese are SMARTER than those in the West.

The only problem with Ken Miles's theory here as portrayed in the movie, is that Ford actually goes on to beat Ferrari and sweep the podium at LeMans.
That's what it is. And that how it will be. For ever.

That collection of people cannot fathom their own non-existence.
So the organism will do anything to sustain the life of the organization.
