I work in the planning department of a rather large major city that I'd rather not name (many of you were probably here in mid-March for a conference - hint, hint) that did not have a permanent director for over a year. Finally, the Commission selected one who, much to the dismay of some staff members, local planners, pundits, etc., barely meets the qualifications of a Planner II/entry level position. It's obvious that politics had a major role in this particular selection. Have any of you ever experienced a situation such as this and how did you handle having to answer to someone whom you don't even consider your peer because your qualifications - education and work experience - far exceed theirs?
