If I kept my level and get a team with >200 IQ, then I'll be the idiot any day.

I'm a middle aged industry engineer and having a team of morons at this point is so fucking tiresom.

They're not really morons. Companies obsessing about efficiency are just beating people in to lumps of apathy that don't want to use more than 2% their brain power on anything. If they also have a culture of punishment, it kills all initiative and you end up with mouth breathers with a thousand yard stare all day.
