Yeah, it's both shitty and sometimes useful. It reminds me of an article I read once about implicit hierarchies- sometimes when organizations try to do away with traditional management, what they end up with instead is an unofficial and opaque control structure based on cliques and influence. In those cases it can be better for newcomers if there is an explicit set of rules and guidelines.

Do you have a source for this article? I've found that this has happened on my company and I am curious about the phenomenon

I don't - it was quite a while ago, sorry. I'll do some searching and let you know if I find it again.
