It gets really fun when the incompetent ones get promoted and start dictating how the competent ones are supposed to work. (Sigh...)



Peter Principle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Principle

>The Peter Principle is a proposition that states that the members of an organization where promotion is based on achievement, success and merit will eventually be promoted beyond their level of ability.

The organization acts like a completely incompetent being, despite all interations with it being competently handled.
