Most of the people getting promoted/going into management arent the smartest or best fit, its just someone willing to gun for it/jump through hoops. So you get those types potentially bossing around someone more competent, odd dynamic
You mean motivated people with stronger work ethics? There’s a lot more to life than being smart.
1) He/she may not know how to actually manage people.
How you get as belittling & insulting a turn as "people with woth stronger work ethic" (as though people who like doing work versus being overhead/commanders are all low ethic) is a sheer mystery to me
