We've all had a bad boss (or two), but what is it about reaching the top of the food chain in the workplace that makes people so incompetent? It's rare that dependable leaders ever climb the corporate ladder, so how are these nincompoops becoming the guy in charge? For hardworking employees, the reasoning is simple… it's because of us.
Workers who can handle and manage themselves are the perfect springboard for a lazy manager to start slacking. With mouse togglers plugged in for 'productivity' and a fully booked (yet meaningless) meeting calendar, bad bosses protect themselves from the scrutiny of their underlings simply because behind a glass ceiling, they're free. For those of us whose paycheck never reflects our hard work and dedication, next time you're wondering where all these 'record profits' are going, take a look at your boss's social media pages–you'll likely catch a few vacation photos from Bora Bora, no doubt purchased with the yearly bonuses that were denied for everyone else in your department.
