I have found that there are those that are discovered and those who are found out.

Early on in my career I had a boss who had the wool firmly pulled over everybody's eyes. In classic PHB style he took credit for everything that went right and blamed his people on everything that went wrong.

Life was fairly miserable with this boss in charge and he delighted in telling his underlings how to do their jobs even if he had no clue what he was talking about.

One day we got a new VP at the company. The PHB attempted to convince the new VP that the test set that I was writing software for was all his doing. Doom on the PHB! The VP actually started to ask questions about how the software functioned. PHB demonstrated very well that he had no clue.

In the end the VP knew not to ask PHB anything technical. If he wanted answers, go to the techies that were really doing the work.

Moral of the story: Quietly do your job compentantly and the troll will eventually trip themselves up.
