Topic	Do you think that managers are usually smarter than the workers below them?

However, I do think managers on average perform worse at their specific job than others do simply because it's harder to get rid of them if they're not qualified enough. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:886531688] in Do you thi...
