Regardless of skill or experience, they seem to be getting promoted over other more qualified individuals, anyway. At least that's what I've noticed in my places of work over the last four years. I'd hate to tell you how many of those places went under as it's all anecdotal. I am however getting a little put out by people around me not getting promoted on merit, but on optics.
- neuronexmachina 7y ago> Regardless of skill or experience, they seem to be getting promoted over other more qualified individuals, anyway Are you referring to 60% of male managers, or women they mentor?
- walru 7y agoI'm saying it doesn't seem to matter if they've been mentored or have the proper level of skill to perform the tasks. That said, why should someone more senior train someone to take a job they themselves should be getting?
- unknownkadath 7y agoWhen an incompetent man gets promoted it's all "Peter Principle, brogrammer, Dilbert joke, hurr durr." When an incompetent woman gets promoted, it's because she's a woman.
- walru 7y agoParden? I'm talking about people getting promoted into positions they aren't qualified for and sinking companies. I really don't care about your sex, race or who you like to invite into bed. I'd rather be on a winning team.
- unknownkadath 7y agoMaybe a little data might help your point be taken more seriously. All kinds of idiots get promoted above their capacities. Women aren't special in that regard.
- apta 7y agoCan't it be both? Men tend to be more aggressive, so the Peter Principle is more likely to apply to them.
