"Senior Management" joke

"Senior Managers" (aka "Big Wheels") at the Maryland State Highway Administration are unclassified positions that require no testing or merit exams. This one fellow applied for a job as an assistant to a Senior Manager and did have to take an exam for the job.

In the meantime though, the Senior Manager position itself opened up, because of a retirement. He applied for that, and was hired.

Some time later, this same fellow got a letter in the mail advising him that he did not qualify for the position of the Assistant Senior Manager. The letter was signed by him, as part of his new duties. (He probably never read the documents he was signing)
