i dont seem to hate his post as much as most here do. In fact if anything, im suprised that he went so lightly on the 20% Peter-principle-bucket folks.

While I agree on the breakdown, my personal feeling is that the lame 20% is the reason why the other 60% exist. They allow it, and through incentivizing the wrong behavior grow it. If they stamped it out (and they are the people in the position to do it) n% of the 60 will up their game (because it now becomes the strategy closely allied to their own self interests) and n% will leave, which I think is an ok result n the long run anyway..
