You must need a better job. I've had plenty of workplaces where I could count on everyone around me.

You know, the hiring manager usually has something to do with the quality of people hired. Maybe you could talk to them instead?

If I made my hiring manager worried more about quality I wouldn't be hired

That doesn't really change the overall point. People are stupid. It's the single biggest sticking point in democracy, socialism, communism, really anything except dictatorship/technocracy/oligarchy/etc. Any system where you cede power to the masses runs the risk of the masses being utterly stupid.

I think it's worth it, because stupid is better than evil, but it's still a point worth considering.
