Kind of reminds me of a company I once worked for; they had just gone through a buyout by a larger company and there was a serious disconnect between the older staff, the newer staff, and the newly combined management; some new executive decided there were far too many memos going around and issued a memo calling for an end to the volume of memos circulating; without the tool of the memos, staff members started to hold ad hoc meetings to get business and make decisions; this entailed significant portions of the staff, at any given time, to be away from their desks, attending meetings; this did not sit well with the new management and a staff meeting was called to notify everyone to stop having so many meetings, which caused the employees to ask the management how they were to communicate and collaborate with each other; their response?...
"Well, you could write memos..."...
