Ew, this sounds a lot like my boss and his superiors. Incapable of actually leading, so they divert to micromanaging. Classic toxic management…

"Why is the door green?"

"Because the areas are colour-coded and this one's green"

"But why is it green?"

"Because that's what's on the concept art?"

"And why did the concept artist make it green?"

"I don't know, because you approved it. Anyway, listen, since I'm enjoying this new level of micromanagement so much, I'm off to try my new toaster in the bath. Toodles."

The Green Door in my home town is a seedy old strip club.
