This is true. But, this guy was judged as qualified for this position by the executives of this company. If he has no clue, he is not suited for the job. Someone who is not qualified for the job will show this by their performance. Ultimately, a chain reaction will occur. The good techs will leave first. After this, the systems will become unreliable. Next, the entire company's performance will suffer, compared to the competition. Stock performance will mirror the company's results, and heads will roll. Another boob will be assigned to the same position and the cycle will repeat until somebody actually qualified takes the job.
