This theory covers the principle that you have some people who are incompetent but get promoted anyway due to arrogance, self-belief and ignorance of their own capabilities and limitations. Their self-belief comes across as confidence and skill during short interview exposure where real skills are not challenged or tested thoroughly. Ultimately they become a manager. They try to exert control over all future situations, despite a lack of informed knowledge.
These employees float up to the top of an organisation, repeating the same process. and this is why there is a layer of shit often floating at the top, underneath which capable employees become exhausted and disgruntled.
This in essence is the Polystyrene Brown Management Theory.
It gains its name from some simple principles. If placed in water, Polestyrene will float to the top, pushing everything out of its way to get there, where it refuses to sink, is bad for the environment and is generally just shit. Inhibiting the necessary light needed for employee growth underneath where they are left in a less oxygen-rich environment, unable to get the necessary straws to aid breathing, due to the budget cuts imposed by said Polystyrene Brown Management.
The environment that the employee is left to work in starts to turn brown, and everywhere they look they feel they are surrounded by shit.

Polysterene Brown Management Theory
"I have been working in this company for 23 years, and we don't need to change or adapt to any of these dumbfounding IT security principles or ideas you have, if you don't like it then leave!!!!" - said David.
"Well David, that's some "Polysternene Brown Management Theory" bullshit right there you useless bag of limp dicks" - replied Kevin.

Holy shit! The Prodigy wrote a book!? OOOOHHH! He predicted black holes 27 years before we even theorized their existence and 40 years before we found one!? HA! Brilliant! I’d expect no less! I’m totally like that guy! EXCEPT IN REVERSE!!!
*Random banging and clattering*
Iam “What... What are you doing? What’s going on here? Why is the trash-can sitting on top of a pile of garbage?”
Hym *mumbling* “It needs to be reversed... Only I can do it... reverse it...”
Iam “Reverse? Why are all your clothes on backwards? Wait... Is this about that reversibility theory video we watched?”
Hym “Help me flip the fridge upside down.”
Iam “What? No! You know that’s now what he meant...”
Hym “Wait! Increase the temperature of the freezer and then decrease the temperature of the fridge! DOUBLE REVERSE!!!”
Iam 🤦 ♂️ “Just don’t break anything....”
Hym *throws brick* *glass shatters* “I reversed the thing you said!”
Iam 😑

Just heat up the shaft, take a punch, hit it with a hammer and bam it'll come out of the hole. (It is not practical because everything is covered in rust and has been stuck for 20 years.) Bam Theory. The difference between an engineer and a fabricator.
