Shitshow Characters: The Golden Child

Today we add yet another character to the list of Shitshow Characters, the Golden Child. 

Golden Child – Someone the flunktional managers love despite running programs into the ground resulting in outrageous cost and schedule overruns.  The Golden Child excels at creating useless processes and wiki updates which is a highly valued leadership skill at the Shitshow. From project to project the Golden Child continues to get promoted my flunktional manager, without the Golden Child learning any real or even basic skills besides updating the wiki. 

Because fluncktional managers use alchemy when picking team leads, I throw rocks.
