My two favorite workplace maxims:

Work expands to fit available time; and,

Workers are promoted until they are no longer competent (aka the Peter Principle).

That's a great summation of my opinions of corporate hierarchy, even if it's not accurate as a reflection of individual people I know and work with within that hierarchy.
