Honestly, at every workplace I’ve had, hiring decisions are made by people who have zero clue about the day to day performance level of an existing staff member. They hire based on “ vibes”and if they remind them of their predominantly white middle class kid and how good someone is at bullshit. It has nothing to do with who will be the best or even good at the actual job.

What a racist comment

One would have been hired for a senior level position at work, but we went en mass to the supervisor and said we would all quit if she was hired. She was not hired and thankfully left.

Consider whether your perception of them is not even close to the whole picture of their value to the employer.

(And as an employment attorney, I would say that at least 65% of the suits I have seen filed were against a manager who did nothing wrong.)

This is correct. It's illogical to presume that rational employers promote people who they perceive as unlikely to advance the company's interests. Executives are compensated directly and/or indirectly based on company profitability or, in some cases, on public perceptions of future profitability. To deliberately limit that is to act against their own interests, and that's not how people behave. That said, of course sometimes employers are mistaken in their judgments, but they usually don't take too long to correct their mistakes once those become evident.

Eyeroll. Says the Republican employment defense side attorneys.

Explain why anyone would do something which is not in their personal best interests? It doesn't happen - basic human nature. Every action we take fundamentally is in our own interests one way or another.
