I struggle with your statement. I've worked with inept people, but they weren't malicious. In one instance the inept person was the DBA. That one guy made the whole team's life miserable. He was a significant reason I quit a job.
I don't know what framework you could put on a DBA to make them not royalty mess up a system.
But who hired him and why was he still working in that position? That's also failing processes.
That's an interesting thought.
I was there for under a year. The person in that position before me was also there under a year. As was the person before them.
I think the manager was frustrated they couldn't get a person to stick around long enough to get trained up to be helpful. I think she couldn't fire the DBA because he was the only guy who knew how things worked.
The DBA was just one of several toxic people at that role.
