I find this 'tried-and-tested' heirarchy ironic, given that most (large)
businesses strive for an open management style, as flat as is possible.
Bear in mind what management knowledge I know is from various lectures and
videos I've been forced to take in as opposed to first hand experience.
One mud I visited admitted they used an internal numeric representation
for 'wiz levels', not because it is actually useful but so they can award
them to wizzes for actually doing something.
I personally find this distasteful, I hope never to use anything like
this but deep down, I know this horrendous Victorian approach works.
