I have observed a phoenominon. For 15 years now. At a former airline......and now here.

Leadership making bizarre descisions. Seemingly inept. The employees, desperate to explain the root cause of these, believe there is "something up". Or "a master plan". The closest term I could find was Hanlon's razor....."Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"

This doesn't quite explain it. So I have named it after myself.

Coopervane's razor "when leadership makes seemingly illogical, ignorant, even seemingly stupid descisions and front line employees assume it is because of some hidden plan to eventually benefit them and the company........when it is actually incompetence and/or greed"
