When you look at these cases you also find there is a gap between what people say and what people do.
I was sat down by one engineering manager who told me "we do code reviews" and told me a lot of things we also supposedly did. Once I got into the code I found we didn't do most of the things he said we did so I don't think we were doing the code reviews either.
He still posts on LinkedIn about managers who say they do code reviews and don't.
At that same startup we had problems with the investors not trusting management (things were disorganized, I certainly couldn't get people to change their behavior in areas where that was my responsibility) and they thought OKRs, an import from Google, were an answer but of course they weren't.
