Worst Person for the JobIn a week where it emerges that the new Health Secretary is a fan of the hocus-pocus that is homeopathy, tell us about people who are spectacularly out of their depth in a job. Have you ever found yourself wallowing in your own incompetence? Tell us. (Note: "Name of football manager/politician - nuff said" does not constitute an answer)

That reminds me...I used to work for an Industrial Control System company too.
Our racks allowed for two processor modules to be in at the same time.
If processor #1 went down, #2 would take over.
We hadn't got this functionality working yet (but were still demonstrating it in a soon-to-go-live plant in China). So what did our director do?
Put an empty processor box in slot #1, with just LED's to glow green. Then programmed processor #2 (which was actually running and doing all the work) to turn its lights from red to green when it detected the empty processor box in slot #1 being removed.
Therfore the Chinese were most impressed that removing processor #1 had absolutely no adverse affect to the running of the system.
It was just as well they didn't try it with processor #2...
