I've said that organizational dysfunction should be a villain more often, mostly because of my belief that we need stories that give us information about how to deal with the biggest actual problems we, as a society, face. It's just very hard to write a story about organizational dysfunction that includes actually beating the organizational dysfunction.
But there's one place where organizational dysfunction does have an opportunity to show its villainous nature: videogames. Specifically, management videogames, where making decisions about organizational goals and who to hire is already central to gameplay.
Now, the average "management" game is not really about management per se. Everything is hyper abstract, you have a god's eye view, and you have ultimate authority over everything that you do. You are still looking for weak links and problems to correct, but a lot of that is pathing issues (if the game has that) or restructuring physical space.
So a management game that's about organizational dysfunction would be one where you're the new boss, looking to right the ship, and it would need to be an opaque organization, one where you can't just look inside someone's mind and see the "takes credit for others' work" trait.
I guess when I put it like that, I'm imagining something that's more like a detective game, as you do interviews and comb through piles of documents. And it's not as simple as "fire the bad people", because often those people are pulling a lot of weight, that's one of the reasons they've stuck around for so long, and replacing them is genuinely a hit to the company's ability to do ... whatever it's trying to do.
(Definitely also possible to do this same thing set in a government agency, a non-profit, or any other organization, though the actual problems will look at least somewhere different.)
Makes sense, to me :))

okay experiencing boredom while medicated is really making me realize what a HUGE disservice we do by calling understimulation in adhd (or any other condition that impacts dopamine uptake) as "boredom." Like it really is a completely different animal with different symptoms, there's a gulf of difference between "man I wish I was doing something else right now" and "I've been put in the mental and emotional equivalent of a stress position and I need to do anything that will alleviate it Right Now"

Teehee just kidding you don't get a choice
How?
When I was a kid I was a big fan of the big Garf, and as a man who doodles on every sheet of paper I also ended up learning how to draw him and doodled him on everything, I got introduced to Heathcliff through drawfee and since Garfield should be long retired by now I look at the comics. I also learned how to doodle him, I believe the first time I really thought about it was doodling on a foggy car window, where I doodled them kissing
What?
Imagine, if you will, Garfield going around the neighborhood and finding another outdoor car by the name of Heathcliff, Heathcliff is mute. They go ham heisting, caterwauling, etc. in a universe where they are catboys I imagine Heathcliff can ride a motorcycle and maybe cook but there's no shortage of non catboy content given Heathcliffs robot son and various other lore. Garfield thinks Heathcliff is cool, maybe even adventurous. Heathcliff thinks Garfield is funny, and secretly nice.
Why?
Why not?
Hi increasingly exasperated mutuals, would you guys like the garfcliff lore? (Garfield/Heathcliff)
New theory is that Ruby was so bored out of her gourd that she made up an entire alternate dimension where everything sucks but at least she fucks with that guy the doctor mentioned 20 minutes ago. The doctor is going on about geology or the history of wales or something while completely unaware
