I don’t so much work with Fools as I work with people that are incapable of thinking past their own nose. Some do…others do not. Here’s what I’m saying:
– I support a user (in his 60’s) who believes that typing e-mails is women’s work (Secretaries do that). This guy isn’t even middle management. He can barely type in his own password on a daily basis…that he doesn’t bother shutting down or logging off of his PC. It’d probably take him 10 minutes just looking for the keys to type his password.
OK, to start with let me say that this was my first job out of uni, so I was quite naive about what to expect from a boss. There is no way I would tolerate this sort of behaviour now!
As mentioned above, I got my first real job working for a company that organised international Science conferences. My role was to help organise the conferences, sort out exhibitors, help monitor budgets, advertising, marketing, membership etc. In fact, pretty much everything.
My boss is a damned idiot of epic proportions. Lazy, fainéant, idle, indolent, slothful.
I think you are a ‘goldbricker’: an idle, worthless person.[syn: victimize, swindle, rook, nobble, diddle, bunco, defraud, scam, mulct, gyp, con] 2: avoid (one’s assigned duties); “The derelict soldier shirked his duties” [syn: fiddle, shirk, shrink from]-(used courtesy of dictionary.com).
I work for a state government as a clerk in a records department. My responsibilities involve copying requested records, filing incoming records, stuff like that. I have a great supervisor snf the work is interesting. Unfortunately since we are going paperless my job is being phased out and so I am going elsewhere.
