Wow, such negativity...

Just because someone was hired from the outside doesn't mean they didn't work their way up.

Are their bad managers/administrators? Of course.

Are there bad worker bees? Of course.

I hear a lot of jealousy and envy in the responses. Check your foolish generalizations at the door to add credibility to your opinions.

People go into management for a wide range of reasons. Some are great, some suck. Some of the roles pay a ton of money, some don't.
