I used to think this too but it rarely works that way in reality. Why? Because, as Roger Sterling put it, "Half the time this business comes down to 'I don't like this guy'".
Incompetent people survive because, for whatever reason, they're liked that decision makers, who may themselves be inccmpetent. Or it may be they're just similar in outlook, background or interests. It doesn't matter. Or they may be politically savvy enough to take credit for things that work and deflect blame when they don't.
I've seen teams spend a half on something, not launch anything, make a post about "we learned a lot" and get praised for thier "achievements".
> Point 5 - meetings are great if remote.
For many people, myself included, this is still incredibly distracting. You can't switch off entirely.
