Pointy Haired Boss: http://www.dilbert.com/ Basically, your typical clueless middle manager who was smart enough to rise one level up the management chain but not smart enough to get higher. According to "the Dilbert Principle" people are promoted to the level of their incompetence. To put it another way, people who try to work up the management chain will generally (at least in the US) continue up the chain until they get into a job that they simply don't have the competence to handle. Rather than being demoted to the job they can handle, they typically hang around in the higher job until retirement, or so it seems. This is of interest because your typical PHB is one level up the chain and already unqualified, with the implication that the only role for which he is likely qualified is the front line at McDonalds or Jollibee.
