Mathematical Explanation as to Why Idiots often get Promoted
Ol'WDB

In case you've ever wondered why ignorance rises to the executive level, here is a simple explanation that is also a mathematical proof.

Also if you get big pay raises, maybe someone is trying to tell you something.

1. Knowledge is Power
2. Time is Money and, as every engineer knows:
3. Work/Power = Time

If Knowledge = Power,
and Time = Money
then #3 becomes:
3a. Work/Knowledge = Money
or,
3b. Money = Work/Knowledge

Thus Money approaches infinity as Knowledge approaches zero, regardless of the Work done.

What this means is:
The LESS you Know, the MORE you Make!
