Hierchy of Stupidity

It seems the higher up the ladder The stupider some people get With just the right amount Their futures seem set Skill doesn't always matter The dum can have success They get pushed up even higher Regardless of their mess When they can't be fired Promotion is the answer Move them up the chain Give others the cancer Sometimes in the end They'll run the whole place On the very top floor Setting corporate pace They say the union Rules Maybe stupidity's supream It's hard to make it stop Once it picks up steam

While perusing your very well written piece on the way business works, I realize how fortunate I am that the back stabbing and nastiness is all behind me! Cheers, Jake

You are a funny guy, if it was ahead of you it wouldn't be backstabbing. My laugh for the day. Thanks Jack.

WHoa Richard! You're on the roll. And what's brought on this angst? I like the line 'the dum can have success', it goes to show how rotten the system is. And the thought of promoting incompetents to avoid bureaucracy is oh so true. Very well written!

We had a friend over for dinner and were talking about corruption in gov't. I said it sounded like a hierchy of stupidity and somehow those two words stuck in my brain.

Thanks Mandy, I am fortunate to work for a non unionized company that works on merit, unlike union or govt positions.
