Hearing Nothing at the moment
It is: Why useless bosses always hire idiots. Admit it, you like it, too.
I always suspected the reason that happened was because they didn't know any better -- that's one of the reasons why they are useless. But maybe there's a deeper explanation:
A new study by researchers in Europe has added to the growing swell of evidence that managers who feel they aren't good at their jobs tend to surround themselves with less competent employees. Researchers at the University of Granada in Spain and University of Lovaina in Belgium suggest insecure bosses do so in order to "try to prevent subordinates from becoming competition for them."
See, in the kingdom of the incompetent, the useless man is king! Suddenly I'm reminded why, in fact, I'm self-employed.
