You seem to like that word, it being your nick, but that said, it would seem to me that any management that believes it is omnipotent ought to be fired on the spot. That sort of delusion can only end in tears.

In reality, management is people too with varied levels of experience and competence. And like all people, they make mistakes so we shouldn't be surprised they don't get it right all the time.
