The worst is when an asshole is promoted. A supervisor job was offered to a co-worker who was groomed for the job for three years, when the time for promotion arrived, he declined because the money wasn't right for him. Management panicked and promoted an asshole who even they didn't want!
Over the next five plus years this asshole screwed up almost everything he touched. Many logical complaints to upper management and HR were lodged, with no action taken, he always flew just below the "fire" threshold. The management team who promoted him (it was revealed later after the asshole left) wouldn't remove him because of how it would have reflected on them!

I hate having to witness this at work where there's a team who's been working on a shitty project FOR YEARS and then it gets standardized across the company seemingly out of sunk cost fallacy and ass-covering of the people running it. Meanwhile there was an competing implementation done ahead of schedule and technically excellent, got canned.
