In a real job you suffer the consequences of letting something stupid happen.

[–] redisdead@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes and no. Sometimes letting someone be stupid means they're quickly replaced by someone hopefully less stupid.

What happens when the stupid person is in charge of hiring?

[–] redisdead@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

They hired you, didn't they?

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Then they hire someone more stupid so they can appear to be smart. Which makes it a smart move, which means they're smart.

Only the stupidity that affects your work directly.

Pff, past jobs I've been at, you got written up for not doing the stupid thing(policy related, nothing that would put you in actual danger).

[–] SinJab0n@mujico.org 1 points 4 months ago

You only need to have evidence of how it wasn't ur fault, easy as that.

Right, so there's very few middle management or C Suite jobs, got it.
