It's one of the most BASIC things you can do when working with a computer. He made a total disaster of everything he touched, and I told my friend: "Promoted to management in 6 months". Sure enough, he got "promoted" to the project management group, given a laptop, moved to HQ, etc. What a joke. The Peter Principal in reverse.

He will do great in management, since you don't have to know the technical issues of your work, since you have someone else to do that for you, and you don't have to know your work either, since, as a manager, all you'll be doing is to create your own work and criticize others with no real reason.
