Consequences When Seasoned Qualified Workers Take A Backseat to Nepotism

When some people are placed in high ranking positions as a result of ... maybe nepotism, etc., etc., their lack of great knowledge and/or experience will eventually trickle to the forefront. Sometimes the deficit of not being highly qualified is gradually displayed while other times it will come out immediately. Any ignorance is brought to light whenever those persons are under pressure. They will try to make it seem they are doing a good job by: making up excuses; using blame-game tactics; side-stepping controversial issues instead of bravely dealing with the matter; trying to make it seem that others are stupid, and they are the smart ones by using sarcasm to justify their actions or words; displaying blunt, combative, or defensive reactions; lying and worse getting to the point that they are caught up in starting to believe their own lies such that their deceptions become a natural bad habit. These privileged ones will use whatever tactics are necessary while under pressure, but their shortcomings will begin to unravel slowly but surely. Stress, fatigue, and unhappiness begin to clearly show on their faces and mannerism as they start to lash out on everybody and everything.
