    That’s ok, with how much more they’re paid than everyone else I’m sure they’re all far too clever to be fooled - corporations are the epitome of a meritocracy don’t you know?

      You don’t always want the most meritorious at the top. Ever heard of the Peter Principle? Being competent with the task at hand doesn’t always translate into leadership ability.

      Can’t find it, but there’s a great quote, maybe by Ford, about hiring. Good engineers are a dime a dozen, the man who can effectively lead those engineers is a rare one.
