Think about your own workplace and how many employees don't know what the fuck they are doing. Well, Gibson is no different. Incompetence thrives everywhere because we don't live in a meritocracy where talent, perseverance and knowledge are routinely rewarded. In this country, loyalty and longevity are rewarded regardless of the level of talent or knowledge. It comes down to don't believe everything you read or hear or see on TV. Like most large corporations, Gibson has its share of nitwits and incompetents. It also probably has its share of relatively bright people who are sadly misinformed.
Good points....However, I would like to add that in many corporations, people rise to the top only because of who they know and how good they look in a suit. When that happens, a lot of screwed up decisions get made and a ton of needed decisions get left flopping in the breeze. The more I read about Gibson, the more I think they are managed this way. They appear for all the world to be a company comprised of truly great people that get the work done despite the organization and management and not because of it.
