Bureaucracy, middle managers, and human resources are the single biggest drain on human advancement.
Sure, humas resources are always an obstacle. Those pesky humans always just complicate things, the best results are achieved with monkeys! Monkeys should rule the world.
And of course, as the company grows, these thousands of monkeys should be managed without middle management - because the stagnation is not a downside of large-scale, it is caused by middle management! If someone cannot manage thousand workers directly, they should not run a company!
And don't get me even started about reporting progress and putting in controls. Of course the top management should be able to control the billions they spend without reporting! Just let those thousands of monkeys do what they want to do! That way, progress is asured...
Sorry man, but I think you just got this wrong.

PS: Ok, you may have meant "human resources department" but them maybe you should have stated that the monkeys are to be recruited randomly, giving even more freedom to the corporation! Woo-hoo! Go monkeys!
Life is a healthy respect for mother nature laced with greed.
