Felicitas Pojtinger 🌅I'm not sure if we've ever been at a point in history before where competence was an active hindrance to your professional success in the way it is now
Theolodian@pojntfx interesting point! I thought that it was just a British class system anachronism. 🤔
Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@theolodian @pojntfx The British class system is what build the industrial revolution and the Empire.
If you're born into the wrong class you can't be an officer or a manager. So you get promoted to NCO or foreman and get stuck. Resulting in LOTS of REALLY GOOD NCOs and foremen, the people who actually get the work done.
Without the class system these people would have got promoted up further to their level of incompetence, hence no industrial revolution or Empire.
[This is a theory. I expect there are others to choose from.]
@TimWardCam @pojntfx dunno. I’ll sit here twiddling my thumbs, not my problem to solve if I’m not the right social class.
