RCMP Rules out theft from Canadian Mint (cough, bullshit, cough)

[gin]

there is an peculiar occurrence that happens usually in 'big business'
that seems to hold true most places.. as a senior manager of a lesser
manager it's always better for the snr mgr to promote the lessor mgr into
a more senior position preferably in another division before the lesser
mgr's fuck ups become apparent to others.. that way somehow the snr mgr
gets off the hook once his 'problem' mgr was promoted or has moved on

does sounds strange.. but true.. and don't believe me.. check it out for yourself..
seems to happen more so between management levels.. not so much for underlings they get fired 

You are referring to The Dilbert Principle

thanks for that.. noticed this 'principal' more so once I worked at the company HO..
another method to jump the promotion queue?  become drinking buddies with a higher
up whose a closet alcoholic.. works better if it's your bosses boss or someone in HR..
if it's a vp or higher it's an added advantage.. a variation of the beer-goggles effect
except that when you wake up the next morning.. turn over and look at your now
'formerly better half'.. thinking "soon I'll be able to get 'at' better than that".. ha

Sabre, that post didn't have the "wake up" wording in it. Freudian slip perhaps?

nah, sometimes I get lazy.
