Here is a situation that pops up as a result of corporate culture itself. Individuals who do the damage will have moved far away by the time the damage is done, and implement things short-term which look great, but cost long term, and no one is watching. I heard one story, at one company, where one manager would keep having his projects end up in crisis mode, and then the people in the team would bail out his mismanagement. He kept getting face time in corporate and actually got promotions due to his exposure and recovering from mismanagement.
And then there is the "need to make a decision from 30,000 feet" which ends up causing a broad stroke which undermines employee confidence that management hires fairly. And you can add on top of that all the stuff found in Dilbert, that happens from actual events in one form or another.
