Stupid Bosses

I worked as a computer tech for an insurance company. One day I received a call from supervisor on the sales floor.

Me: “Hello, IT.”

Supervisor: “Hello?”

Me: “Hello?”

Supervisor: “Hello?”

Me: “Hello?”

The phone went dead. I put the phone down, and it rang again.

Me: “Hello, IT.”

Supervisor: “Hello, did you just ring me?”

Me: “No you rang me.”

Supervisor: “Did I? Oh, well, the reason I’m ringing now is because you couldn’t hear me when I rang you before.”

Me: “Yes I could.”

Supervisor: “No you couldn’t.”

Me: “Yes I could.”

Supervisor: “No you couldn’t.”

Me: “Believe me, I could.”

Supervisor: “Can you hear me now?”

Me: “Yes, of course I can.”

Supervisor: “Oh, that’s all right then. Catch you later.”

I am angry because this little fat Italian woman gets paid a lot more than the rest of us and what does she do? She sits on her fat ass all day doing nothing and has no people skills whatsoever. I am submitting this rant because she spoke down to me today and spoke to me as if I was an idiot. I stood up for what I believed in and tried to give her my thoughts but because she is level above me, she had to be the RIGHT one all the time. Well, listen, I, along with my co-workers, have a life too outside work but we have to change our working life to accommodate the business! But because this woman has to pick up her daughter, she had to leave work early so us lowly workers have to leave as well “for security reasons”. Why can’t she just say to the rest of us it’s because “we don’t trust you people”? Surely, what do they think we’d do? Run amok inside the office, vandalizing and looting the equipment?? I think not. Oh, this woman also thinks she is above us because she lives near the city and not out in the suburbs and she has a millionaire for a father who bought her an expensive brand new car. Who do you think you are, Tina??

My female boss was the self-appointed office manager. Self-appointed because she was a company director. She’d got there because she’d once been married to the guy who started the business, and when they divorced he couldn’t get rid of her because he’d made her a director of the company while they were married, (yes, he was REALLY stupid). She was so incompetent at managing the company finances that she failed to pay compulsory taxes and staff superannuation over a number of years, (shoved the tax documents into a filing cabinet draw and thought they’d go away), thus causing the company severe financial problems when the taxman finally arrived to see what was going on. ONLY THEN would she sell her share in their company to her ex-husband, who had been trying to get rid of her for years. ONLY THEN did he realise that she’d made a giant mess of the cashflow, because he hadn’t made her report to him even once during their marriage or since their divorce.

My boss has this strange habit of shaking her 2 liter bottle of soda right before she puts it back in the refrigerator. After being perplexed by this behavior for some time, I asked her about it. She replied that she did it because shaking the bottle caused the soda to fizz. When I was still confused, she looked at me like a was a fool. She then patiently explained that the fizzing was a sign that she had put the carbonation BACK INTO the soda…when we told her that it was impossible, she didn’t believe us…
