As have I. I love the term "The dead sea effect" for this.
It seems in the long term, workforce competence will always correlate directly with management competence. Money and job popularity being factors that allow workers to tolerate a larger skew in the gap between them and management.
One of the worst managers I've ever had, prided themselves on how many people they "helped launch" to other departments, never realizing that they were running away screaming.
- btilly 13y agoI love the term "The dead sea effect" for this. Seconded! For those who don't get the reference, think of good employees as water, bad ones as salt. Organizations get a fresh water mix of employees who include both kinds. But over time the good ones evaporate and go to other organizations. The bad ones tend to stay. Over time the "saltiness" of the mix increases. If this process continues long enough, you wind up with something resembling the Dead Sea.
