This is an oldie-but-goodie which eerily deplicts how decisions get made at my company.
If anyone knows who I should credit, by all means let me know.

In the beginning was the Plan.
And then came the Assumptions.
And the Assumptions were without form.
And the Plan was without substance.
And the darkness was upon the face of the Workers.

And they spoke among themselves, saying, “It is a crock of sh*t and it
stinketh.”

And the Workers went unto the Supervisors, and said, “It’s a pail of
dung and we can’t live with the smell.”

And the Supervisors went unto the Managers, saying “It’s a container of
excrement, and it is very strong such that none may abide it.”

And the Managers went unto the Directors, saying, “It’s a vessel of
fertiliser, and none can stand its strength.”

And the Directors went unto the Vice-Presidents, saying, “It promotes
growth, and is very powerful.”

And the Vice-Presidents went unto the President, saying, “It actively
promotes the growth and vigour of the company with very powerful effects.”

And the President looked upon the Plan and he saw that it was good.
And the Plan became a Standard.
