Poor ****. A well endowed woman on my team was just talking about giving soapy tit wanks in the car park. Maybe ask her if she’s into that

I don’t know much about her job, but it sounds like her role is more than ticking a box.
She takes meetings too, for example.

We had a similar management strategy. It's come back to bite our company on the arse. Employed a load of candidates as we were growing. We looked in 2019 and couldn't find what we wanted. Growth happened and by 2020 we're employing weekly almost. It seems we changed the requirements and wanted people with a strong social media presence primary, rather than ability or common sense.
They've come in, done a very questionable job (ok it's hard starting any role during a pandemic but the lack of 1 skill and 2 application as the op mentions is very evident and even shocking as is now being uncovered) and they've even been promoted in some cases ahead of guys who've been chasing it for years. One lad has just been promoted for the second time in a year thus going from unemployed uni grad to I'd say about £60k, in eleven months, and that's at 22. Yet his account are coming to me and others anyone they can get hold of whose name they know, because they can never get hold of him. But, importantly for some it seems, he's constantly tweeting about the great things he is doing and endorsing. Chat enough crap and people believe it.
The longer serving guys who wanted the promotion, a proportion are now leaving. The newer lot, more than half of them seem to think 2 years is sufficient service to justify progression, or they never saw our company as a career and have no attachment to the company, so they're off for a shiny dollar more or even a complete career change.
I think around 20% of our staff have left since March. Kicker is, we can't replace them easily unless we do the same thing again, and there is now way to raise concerns over the mismanagement or misguided policy without highlighting yourself as the odd one out.
Answer is simple, take the money and keep on keeping on. If there was not a recession on the horizon I'd jump ship myself.

Thing have taken a turn for the worse.
In a team meeting the young lad was trying to make a point. The lady in question kept talking over him and he got annoyed. The clerk than asked the young lad to speak he said ' as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted ".
When finished the clerk as the lady for her views on his idea, she responded by saying ' I wasnt listening I was to shocked'.
She than turned on the waterworks with the upper management.
She put in a 3 page formal complaint about the lad stating bulling and aggression to name a few.
The lad had a meeting today ( informal ) to find out his side of this. It seems the complaint we be going a head.
The lady hasnt been seen at work today as she seems to be hiding from the lad. Even her ( our ) boss doesnt know where she is ! I have worked with this lad for over 3 years now and he is a smashing lad works hard etc.
It seems this women is allowed to upset and annoy everyone but if someone say anything to her she will put in a formal complaint.
I cant believe that someone just saying ' before I was rudely interrupted ' and result in this.
I will be going in with him at his next hearing and we will be getting in touch with our union.
For balance I will add that I've seen a man behave like this, but substitute tears for passive aggression and making a really weird environment for everyone else. I worked with a bloke who once went home for the afternoon because I didn't have any contacts for a low maintenance account I was working on (so low maintenance in fact, that I didn't even have to contact them and therefore had no details)

The bloke I've mentioned above is one of the all time creepy bastards I've ever met. Made a birthday cake for the boss.....a male boss. Not that the boss being female would have made it any less weird. He would annoy everyone and then bake something to say sorry, I turned up to a 50/50 loaf one morning on my desk and gritted my teeth and said thanks, straight in the bin when I got home as there was no chance it hadn't been somehow molested.
