Uncle Sam’s Nepotism

How many people remember the Peter Principle? I wonder who Peter is… Uncle Sam’s relative I’m sure!
Work often becomes maddening because of this principle in practice. And it’s practice is widespread, it’s pandemic, it’s epidemic and it’s fraudulently economic. I say fraudulently because it often seems credible, if not downright logical, in certain circumstances to cave in to it’s dysfunctional palliation at times. But time is money. And the offenders are every bit as difficult to remove as a wart - and this wart hogs all your resources. That’s not good business…
The individuals incriminated by the Peter Principle don’t simply represent glass ceilings in a company - they’re stalactites. They’re dangerously positioned to hurt everyone below them in a company. And the longer they remain in position - the more solid a fixture they become.. making them harder to remove. Eventually, the whole business caves in because of their unsupported weight. And the collateral damages caused by their incompetency is grossly underestimated: I figure the losses at 10-100 X their annul pay. Exponentially configured per year of employment.
