Why do ‘post turtles’ routinely get promoted and elevated within their organizations / industries? So what is a ‘post turtle’?
When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post turtle’. You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he’s up there, he’s elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb #$%$ put him up there to begin with.
Perhaps it’s just my perception, but it seems like I see more and more of them.
