Management doesn't listen to low level people who actually do work. I think this is part of Ed zitron's "Business Idiot" thesis. Upper management is so far removed from how things actually get done, they are in all measureable ways idiots
Sometimes they also have selfish or stupid side goals, too. Like, the rumor is the company gets a tax break for people going into the office. So now they make people go into the office, even when most of their team is remote. Climate criminals all, but they're removed from the consequences.
Upper management are fools. Middle management just wants their paycheck, and maybe to rise high enough to become a business idiot themselves.
