If you were to write up the actual accounts of what's going on as a fictional tale, it would seem too fake to be convincing.

I think this because the Revolutions podcast by Mike Duncan has a season where he creates a fictional Martian revolution, and the new PHB I mean CEO ruins operations by instituting massive new policy in the name of efficiency, but ends up making everybody's jobs slower and worse, and it felt too fake to fit in with the rest of the story.

I must now reevaluate the incompetence of "efficiency" seeking C level execs. Perhaps they really are that bad.
