You think when Google, Meta, etc acquires a company they will bother to make the staff leetcode and go through interview processes? These are nothing more than bureaucratic formalities.

Many public servants complain about their org's bureaucratic culture, but when somebody tries to do the right thing like in this instance, also complain....
I think you are right when you are referring to a team in private sector. However this is public service we are talking about. We are using tax payer money. Did we ask ourselves the right question when we hire a team? Was due diligence done? What about change management and sentiment?

We are under public scrutiny lei. U try MNC or SME hire a team,no one bats an eye
