I’m not suggesting he was one, but there’s a version of this person where they not only do this but they’re also incompetent. Since upper management has even less domain-specific knowledge than this hypothetical person, they appear extraordinarily productive because of their calendars and workloads. I watched one systematically eliminate good people using this method by laundering accountability to them for things that were totally out of their control. If you ever encounter this person, my advice is to leave the company ASAP.
