Dumb People at the Top

One of my programmer friends put this 'comment' in his last release script as a joke to the other programmers. He didn't create the image; he just copied it in--to provide a little humor. It is clearly commented out to anyone who knows anything about programming.

That said, one of his (several) bosses has mistakenly decided that not only did this innocent joke waste time, but it also caused the release to be in error. So, she is now making a big deal out of it and wasting much time and causing much morale damage in the process.

So... why do dumb people end up in charge of things???

That could be anyone trying to figure out how it works, just b-cuz ya have to read a manual doesn't make ya dumb. It makes you patient. Any idiot should know this. He should outsmart her somehow and get promoted himself.
