There are lot of technical issues/defects most people can't fix ot even understand. They keep scheduling meetings and talking about "ideas" but inaction reigns, whole teams paralyzed because they just do not know what to do. Legacy code written by much more talented people long gone, those who remain are afraid to touch it. What can we do?

gn3n who you calling monkeys,HR TROLL LOOK INTO THIS ASAP
yeah, I agree... but then you get 20x the bugs...
I had seen a statistic about 10 year ago that the business of fixing bugs, in the US alone, was a 100 million dollar business... I am sure that market has gone exponential since then!
My old colleague used to say: "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys"
Have one of the countless duty managers figure out how to fix the code.
All they know how to do is show up during crit sit asking for a status.
The status is irrelevant to you duty manager, now please get lost.
IBM laid off the "old collar" people who knew how things worked. Don't come crying to us when you realize you need us after all.

Sounds like some work needs to be farmed out to India.
Oh this is going to be fun to watch.
Yes, an “empty shell” company...
Sounds like some work needs to be farmed out to India. They are motivated and work cheaply. I can get six of 'em for the price of one these people you talk about, and get 20x the work out of them.
It's not lack of skills but lack of motivation.
Who wants to work for no raise, no bonus and then real fear of layoff.
schedule meetings, "show" your boss you're working and do some politics seems to be working for many so why not.
Now your understand why the company has no future. No matter whatever financing, marketing, strategy gimmicks the upper management tries to play, at the end of the day, it's an empty shell.
