In a real job you suffer the consequences of letting something stupid happen.
Yes and no. Sometimes letting someone be stupid means they're quickly replaced by someone hopefully less stupid.
What happens when the stupid person is in charge of hiring?
They hired you, didn't they?
Then they hire someone more stupid so they can appear to be smart. Which makes it a smart move, which means they're smart.
