You ever work somewhere that a person kept falling up? I worked at the city and there was a iT security guy with no certs and little experience. He was making like 130k working director for the director. We were suppose to be onsite everyday. He didn't show up in the office for months. in the end he left the city for a another job paying him 20 k more. Yet the city still used him as a consultant. Wild. I need whatever he had. lol.

Absolutely. The least technical person on my team (several years back) got promoted to technical manager for the whole team because he kissed the most ass. He then HEAVILY relied on everyone else doing all of his work for him to eventually become VP of the entire department while the rest of us had to leave for other jobs because the entire budget was eaten up by his salary. And he still didn't do anything productive after 8 years.

I trained a recent college grad that came through the office on a temp/intern basis. We were all Analysts, either grade 1,2,3,etc....

I was A2, she was A1. She finished her rotation and applied for a spot on her team. She was hired. They made her my supervisor and bumped her to A3.
She got promoted about 6 months later, using mine and other team members work as standing and HER desk was a hot mess after she left. I doubt she did it intentionally, so I feel she was on the FAKE IT TIL YA MAKE IT plan

Yeah it seems like this guy was on a fake it to you make it too, he would do a stupid little laugh all the time. I cause it was a tick but it always seemed like it was a tell that he didn't know what he was doing.
