I worked at a company once who after several rounds of layoffs (and in the midst of a pretty pitiful product launch) sent out congratulatory emails about how exciting a time it was to work there and their main example was:

HR had completed many hours of meetings and listening sessions and had chosen to ... rename the HR department to some stupid new name.

It was like a joke for the movie Office Space, but too stupid to put in the film because nobody would believe it.

It’s amazing how process and internal operations will just eat up a company.
