I feel your pain. :( It&#x27;s the Dilbert Principle in action, except that rather than less effective people&#x2F;groups being deliberately selected for advancement, those groups are selected by default because they&#x27;re sitting around doing nothing important. The most effective people&#x2F;groups are too busy getting the critical work done to risk letting them change roles.<p>If you can&#x27;t be replaced, you can&#x27;t be promoted.
