Description: The clipped DJ is protected in mylar-" Portuguese army officials were investigating the death of a twelve-year-old boy who was shot by a sentry. The sentry claimed the boy ignored his challenge in the dark and proceeded. In the trial, the court decided to reconstruct the incident. The thirty-three-year-old civilian playing the part of the boy was also shot dead.? Why do things go wrong? The Peter principle states that: In a hierarchy, individuals tend to rise to their level of incompetence. In the meaning that we always give competent employees promotions until they fail to deliver a good performance and they are stuck at their level of incompetence. My favorite chapter in the book is when it discovers how governmental hierarchies get complex and work to maintain their existence rather than to make bureaucratic work easier and more effective for citizens. It contains a lot of hilarious examples that were fun to read. This is a breezy read for sociology/ psychology lovers. ?The meat cutter at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger and filed an insurance claim. The insurance company sent a claim investigator to the hotel. The claim investigator asked to work the machine. He lost a finger.- Udai Date: 1984.
