developed by Scott Adams,
I find use of the term "kicked upstairs" to mean selected for promotion to a position where he doesn't interfere, in 1821, and I'm not even looking. It's not like Scott Adams 'developed' the concept: only documented it again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.162.148 (talk) 05:14, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Gervais Principle
This article, along with the links below, forgets to factor in the alternative hypothesis: The Gervais Principle https://www.ribbonfarm.com/the-gervais-principle/

To put it simply, "Sociopaths, in their own best interests, knowingly promote over-performing losers into middle-management, groom under-performing losers into sociopaths, and leave the average bare-minimum-effort losers to fend for themselves." In this case "Sociopaths" are wise venture-oriented opportunists, "Clueless" are industrious project-oriented idealists, and "Losers" are wage-oriented reactive pragmatists.
