Well, they were the ones who became managers. There's always one.

Not always true.

In academia, you might find the dept run more or less day to day by some
"administrator" who slides in sideways and has no academic
qualifications at all. Boy does that **** people off.

That happens particularly when the head of department is an academic who
*may* be a good researcher but is hopeless at management.
