Bah, I work with the biggest selections of a$$clowns this side of the Mississippi. I work at a hell desk, where nobody in our Tier1 group has any technical skill. They were all hired for their customer service ability (ie: NONE) and can't answer basic questions about software they've worked with for 2 years now. The boss fosters this all, in spite of the fact we've never had a problem with customer service skill from the real techies that worked here, now all the people with any skill are leaving for $10-15k more a year at the building next door and this company is going down faster than that NY Governor's hooker.
I've got one dude who hasn't done a stich of work in 3 years, and he wonders why everyone hates him. I've got a stereotypical type who uses her 'female, minority' status to ensure that no matter how much she screws up, she'll never be fired. I've got a masseuse and a beaty pageant contestant who just started - neither of them know how to turn on their own computer in the morning, yet work in a hell desk answering technical application support questions from users.
Our management is right near the biggest tard of all. You go to him with a question, a concern, or even a bright idea (or a quippy little comeback to one of his retarded ass questions), and all you get out of him is a stupid grin. He just sits there with a stupid half cocked smile and won't say anything. Then everyone just gets real nervous and starts talking about the weather just to stop him from staring at you with that goofy damn grin.
Boss: "Hey Jez, what are you doing this morning?"
Me: "Looking for a new job, how bout a recommendation?"
Boss: stupid grin

Me: "So, I'm working on project x"
