"Is this what her professors were thinking when they granted her honors?"

No. I think of a story I recall from a book on the Red Army of the postwar era. It is the tale of an officer so incompetent that he was promoted out of each billet so he would then be somebody else's problem.

They were thinking, first of all, about protected melanin. Next, they were thinking about how they could unload her. I’m sure she was an unpleasant, self-centered, grievance-fueled witch even as a young witch.

Is this a joke?? Is this a thesis for a master’s degree or higher? The professor who gave her a passing grade on it (if that is how they judge these things) should be fired. She doesn’t even come across as being above average. With that bad grammar and those misspellings she sounds like she is barely qualified for community college.

Some years ago there were several books by a man whose last name is Peter; can’t remember his first name.

I think the first book was titled: “The Peter Principle.” The gist of the book was that, in academe, in business, in the military, etc., a high percentage of individuals receive periodic promotions until, at some point, they have been promoted to a level that is beyond their abilities and expertise. And it is at that level that they spend the remainder of their career, screwing up the works and bungling everything they do; incapable of being promoted further, and almost impossible to demote or dismiss.

Peter also had another book titledL “The Peter Prescription” which contained Mr. Peter’s remedy for the problem. Since I have not been responsible for managing anyone but myself for over 30 years, I remember none of what he had to say.

This reminds me of one of the owners of a business I worked in. He was in the Michigan plant. They sent him to take over the totally self-regulating Southern plant. He was an absolute pain in the butt. At the Christmas party, I talked to the wife of the former owner who by then was running the whole operation. She told me that they had told the guy they really needed him to manage the Southern operation because it was the only way they could get rid of him. The former owner, divorced and head of another plant in another state doing the same kind of work, said that selling that guy part of the company was the worst decision he had ever made, but he was desperate for money at the time and this guy, who was a salesman for them, had the cash. As a result of his incredibly inept management and people skills, my brother went out on his own, then another guy, then a third guy, and finally I did, too. I made a whole lot more money as an independent contracter, though I also worked many more hours. But the absence of the officiousness and arrogance of the guy was refreshing.
