Thread regarding Thomson Reuters layoffs

This VP guy just travels to events, can't spell SQL if he wanted to and is so far disconnected from business but somehow keeps getting promoted and all he does is travel to all exotic destinations with zero value. Because of how useless he is, he's also hired a bunch of useless analysts who just add deadweight to product teams- I don't blame them as they lack direction and leadership. How does this VP guy still have a job?
