"I wrote The Dilbert Principle around the concept that in many cases the least competent, least smart people are promoted, simply because they’re the ones you don't want doing actual work. You want them ordering the doughnuts and yelling at people for not doing their assignments—you know, the easy work. Your heart surgeons and your computer programmers—your smart people—aren't in management. That principle was literally happening everywhere."

@ae It's sad how many downvotes your reply received. Lots of deniers who are heavy into the copium rather than understanding how bad it su-ks to be here now.
I just can’t get over the fact that our CEO speaks such broken English that it makes me wonder if there is a full grasp of the language. It’s inarticulate and distracting. Name another U.S. based fortune 150 company that has a CEO who communicates as poorly as our CEO?
@ae you and me both. Stop the insanity!!
You got the leadership we have now because of the ones that we just had.
And another example...look at the people in charge of the USA. Wow...never would I have thought that you could buy your way into a job that can affect so many people all at once. I just hope to survive the next 3 or so years and see if we can go back to have the real experienced folks get the jobs and right this ship. The other countries are just laughing at us. Make america not the laughing stock of the world.
I think it's called "failing up" US Bank isn't alone in this space. I've seen it before, it happens all the time
Management is made up of failures whose only skill is pushing their heads up the be-hinds of their bosses.
Nobody is ever going to confuse the former head of Reputation and Strategic Risk with a heart surgeon or computer programmer. He’s the kind of guy who disappoints his own father.
