Incompetent Managers

One of the problems that many firms face,

Is people moved up to a much higher base

Than their knowledge and talents would warrant they go,

Where they are incompetent, hopeless and slow.

There may have been reasons why they climbed the pole

Ending up gaining a more senior role

Than they have deserved, but the fact still remains,

There’s someone unsuitable holding the reins.

But they’re hard to get rid of once they are there,

Even if they’re the whole company’s despair,

Unless they do something which warrants the sack,

But many of them have developed the knack

Of just working quietly, not making a splash,

And not doing anything hasty or rash.
