1 edit | "The Wrench"
Simialrly, we had a guy at the company I work for in the IT department. Consistently made really, really bad errors in judgement that angered emplyees with better knowledge, and overall did nothing to imrove our systems over 6 years. Every year, he got promoted to some higher-level position in the company where you get paid a ton of money to do nothing, essentially. The IT guys here nicknamed him "The Wrench", because everything he touched turned to crap.
The guy eventually made it up so far that he didn't have anywhere else to go but out, because he was in way over his head in terms of knowledge+skill - that he didn't have. He was finally terminated about 18 months ago when a new management team came in, but he rode the wave nicely here for about 8 years. Impressive.
This is what I think of when I hear about this former SR executive. -- And so castles made of sand, slip into the sea, eventually.
