Murphy's Laws

Percussive Sublimation is the promotion of an incompetent employee to a "higher" position which brings on no new responsibility but unclogs the rest of the hierarchy. This is known as kicking someone upstairs.

The Lateral Arabesque is another pseudo-promotion. Without being raised in rank -- sometimes without even a pay raise -- the incompetent employee is given A NEW AND LONGER TITLE and is moved to an office in a remote part of the building.
