Its pretty much how any org/institution that deals with a little too much day to day unpredictability and randomness functions.

They learn quickly that lot of the problems they have to solve dont have solutions and are above their resource/skill level. So the goals turn defensive. Dont get blamed. Avoid the hard/unpredictable and complex. Survive long enough to collect pension and become a netflix advisor.

No one with a choice wants these jobs.
