In 1984 while bored at work, I coined the name 'Management by Confusion'. Lack of the ability of management to see or figure out problems became apparent.

Management by Confusion is a Comedy/ Sci-fi/ Fantasy/ Adventure story that bridges weird to insane. It is written so anyone could read it only because I don't have a ten million word vocabulary like some writers. So sit down, relax, and read a
