Yep I had a boss/company owner who clicked on a ransom ware llink but circumstances and a hell of an outside IT contractor and some luck had us back up within 24 hours with no loss of data. It was amazing and garnered the boss a new nickname.
Gotta share the nickname…
Try the middle management area for absolute deadheads, you ever had to work under a boss’s son-in-law? Then they wonder why their best workers quit on them!
i have seen that happen many times. they will lose their best people to other businesses looking for experienced help, other businesses will hire a good man on the spot and the man will never miss a day’s pay.
Safety Director at a trucking company I worked for got taken off the road cause of 3 chargeable accidents in one day.
The Peter Principle, Boyz n Girlz…
Yup. Read it way back in the 1970’s. A more specific formulation is the Dilbert Principle by Scott Adams: “Management is nature’s way of removing the incompetent from the productive workflow.”
