@mattedgar yes. This is kind of where I'm at right now, esp with one department I work with a lot. Their culture is literally everyone who could possibly have an opinion on a topic in the same meeting for hours at a time to make decisions. However, I admit I'm not really confident enough to push the alternate line.

The first time I tried to get a decision as a public sector employee, the answer wasn't yes or no, it was "you need to walk this round a few more people"
