Your whole litany makes me think of my previous life as a mom in charge of a school auction/gala, room mother politics, and PTA/PTO volunteering. What utter hell it can be. :sad_yes:

People like Sally can ruin any experience.
 
Well, it is kind of sick to see you with this mess on your lap and saying, oh, hey you can get this cleaned up…in a year or two. That’s kind of black humor, since it isn’t my mess to clean up!

I’m guessing Sally is living proof that the Peter Principle is not dead. 😃
(There’s my sick sense of humor again.)
I see what you are saying, however, sadly in business this is a common occurrence. The ones doing it get away with it and the ones who have to clean up need to do it or else:blush:

Praise the Lord for taking care of it come judgement day.

What is the Peter Principle?

yes, and the hardest thing is since we are all volunteers, there really is no recourse

The Peter Principle states that in an organization, people will be promoted to their level of incompetence. So even if they start out in a job they can handle, they will eventually be promoted until they can’t handle the job, and then they stay there causing misery for all the other employees. A grim view of the corporate world but we’ve all seen it happen. It sounds like Sally may have even broken through the ceiling and gone beyond her level of incompetence.
