My GM hired a very inexperienced guy to work our theater. She told him (friend of hers) that he would be our next Assistant manager. There’s dozens of qualified people that got passed over so her “friend” could move up the ladder in a few short months and that’s not even mentioning the illegal conflict of interest going on there.
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.
Hot chick: So, the first time I got drunk, I was drinking whiskey.
Yuppie dude: The first time I got drunk, it was Baileys Irish Cream.
Hot chick: Oh… My friend just told me that was a fat girl drink.
What do you think about a boss (newly hired) who spends the day coloring, cutting, pasting, etc., instead of attending to the major amount of paperwork required to run a child care business. All the staff have complained to the executive in charge and not a thing is accomplished – we are stuck with a crazy woman who is dragging the company down. When asked a question, she talks in circles and runs around the subject until you just say forget it.
