> Sounds like Johnny has been hiring some incompetents to run the show.

Johnny runs the show, everything has to run up to him for final approval. He's the worst kind of micromanager who demands final approval then drags his feet until the last possible moment before making a decision. This leaves his employees scrambling to try to execute his "vision" on extremely short deadlines. While there are surely incompetent folks at base camp, even the smartest most hard-working individuals would have a hard time succeeding in that kind of environment.
