Such is the nature of organisations. E.g., X is the boss of a group, the group becomes a department, X hires people to manage the groups in the department, and now all these people have to be informed as well, and of course they have an opinion, too. And they are rarely good managers. Then X leaves and politics kick in because everyone covets the position, and then someone's simple task becomes the focus of someone who wants to place your manager in a bad light. And it never stops, because there's no incentive to make it stop.
