2.3.2.1.1: You must be pretty dauntless  to look behind this statement! Don't think lightly about  breaking the silence on this subject. A shortage of work is a  painful situation for which an organisation can have various covers. The most confusing cover is overactivity. People are extremely busy, sometimes to the extend of being overloaded and stressed. A closer look reveals they don't work towards an output but on conditions which could lead to output. In this situation the organisation will be very defensive if someone blows the whistle. So be cautious and do not bring up this subject in a meeting before you have recruited support in individual talks.

And: Look at solution 1B reorientation of mission. And at solution 8: changing the organisational culture. Read change 1: strategising change.
