I received a LinkedIn request a few months ago from a young Project Manager that had recently joined the customer's business.
I did not accept it, but on checking out his profile it became apparent that he had started off life as a Sales Advisor for Habitat.
He then progressed to working as an Events Coordinator at a company based in London then miraculously made the quantum leap to becoming a fairly vague and unspecified sounding "Department Manager" within the Client company.
After that he progressed, somehow, to becoming a Rollout Manager for a system with which he has never been even remotely acquainted.
There is clearly an unhealthy amount of Nepotism at play.
That said, it does introduce a comic level of confusion when he attempts to introduce to the process suggestions and remarks that do little but highlight the colossal inappropriateness of his appointment.
Everything, thankfully, works despite rather than because of these morons. But it is a sad indictment of British Management that so few of those recruited nowadays have so little understanding of the processes and technologies they are meant to be organising.
