“他算什么?” 是什么意思?
In a conversation between some colleagues and a manager who has found out a new manager has been assigned to his department. The colleagues say “他算什么?” about the new boss. What does this mean, and how would you personally translate it? I get the feeling its derogatory, but just how derogatory?

B: 那老王,你呢?
D: 我还是总经理。他有文凭,但是没有经验。大家都清楚哪个更重要吧。
