I can second that assessment OP. It's astonishing for those who've never experienced it. What always struck me the most was how little corporations operate as a meritocracy, but instead end up becoming a kakistocracy over time!
If I had a nickel for every time I contemplated how this Director/VP got his/her job I'd be a rich man. Now granted, there were some worthy ones along the way. But the latter were always outnumbered by the former in my 25+ year experience enmeshed in the land of talking corpses (Corp-Orations).
