  After they’ve been promoted to their level of incompetence, they lean in very hard on relationships to survive.

  Organizations where they get away with this are miserable to work for, and their influence ensures nothing merit-related ever happens again. Literally the source of the famous expression “A-people hire A-people, B-people hire C-people”.

  The word illegal used a lot, but really, how pervasive is people doing illegal stuff at work? Surely not very.

    The word “illegal” appears exactly once, paired with “unethical”. That doesn’t seem to be a major takeaway from the article to me.

  Smells awfully like the Gervais Principle to me, where the petering manager is part of the clueless class.
