If Mikey owned a team in a pro league with no or minimal revenue sharing/salary cap, say he owned the Reds, the team would be in last place forever.
I've seen it happen in huge nationwide companies, too. One supervisor or manager can always pass the blame for their underachieving buddy off on someone else in their department to their boss, particularly as long as their department meets goals on the whole.
In any case, does anybody really think the janitors at Apple are doing an extra thorough job scrubbing the toilets because they were the most profitable US company last year?
