I work for a local environmental regulator. Our offices are located in one of the most accessible locations in the city possible for public transportation and walkability. Our higher ups wanted to move to an office that would require everyone to drive (no walking distance housing and very little public transport access). Luckily there would not be enough parking for the employees... They also wanted everyone to return to office full time but received enough pushback so that office staff will only have to go twice.
People in power do not see the big picture because they are distracted by politics or they personally don't want their daily lives inconvenienced.
Yes but if for example management is pressuring employees to make repairs in X amount of time that causes them to have to rush, its the company's fault. Similar to Norfolk Southern giving train engineers 45 seconds per train car to do safety inspections.
