A rant full of dribble

Post by **raw** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 12:28 pm

I love my boss, he's such a wanker; he's always looking for a reason to pick a fight. We have some defective telephony cards in my office which are labeled with the symptoms they are showing and have been this way for some time.

So yesterday he emails me stating he went through my office and saw all kinds of defective cards with no labels, so I reply asking him which cards he was referring to and stated which cards I DO have here and that they are labeled properly and that was the last I heard of it.

So, first thing this morning I come into my office, read a few emails, and this guy is all in here with a big grin on his face and just starts going through my office looking for a card to bust balls about. The funny thing is, this guy is the stupidest person I've ever met in my entire life...really. He makes Kracus, Rep, and Dinosaur look like Genius'. Anyway, he is going through everything right in front of me as I am on IM bad-mouthing him to a pal as he's doing it and I'm grinning the whole time but while pretending to pay no mind to him and answering his barrade of questions that he's throwing at me just so he can be a dick. As usual, I shut him down with no effort because seriously, I had a higher IQ in my mother womb.

The moral of the story is...don't go into a fight unarmed, you're always going to lose as with the case with this worthless prick because he's "as dumb as bread". :lol:

Sounds like you work for a prime example of the Peter Principle: People rise to their level of incompetence.

What's funny is, I was bored one day here and he really turned on the Micro-Managing Overdrive that day so I decided to do a google search on "micro managing" and I swear to Christ, it was an exact description of him. He didn't have one or two things that matched his personality, he fit EVERY SINGLE DESCRIPTION.

I swear, I always said my ex-wife was the epitome of evil but I never thought I'd see the day I could possible hate someone more. He's really outdone himself :lol:

heh - this is very familiar - my cunt boss has a habit of standing over your shoulder and waiting for you to do something especially when its very complicated and important

Post by **raw** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 6:14 pm

I figured out my boss is the kind of guy who lifts his self-esteem up by dragging people down to his level. I don't engage him like that anymore and argue my fights with him with alot of wit and think it through before I just go off the hook on him. Typically, he's so dumb it flies right over his head and I never hear another word about it.

Post by **neh** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 6:16 pm

thats the thing - my boss isnt dumb - he just knows nothing about his job - plus he knows nothing about management

Post by **raw** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 6:26 pm

My boss is barely a high-school graduate, has the spelling and grammar of a 10 year old, and knows nothing but "buzz words" and even uses those incorrectly and in the wrong context. He is constantly making himself a laughing stock. It's quite the comic relief around here sometimes.

Post by **neh** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 6:30 pm

its weird how these things go

was on 12 month contract - hating it, have let my hair grow into some weird indie bob, was rude to the guy most of the time, he promoted me to lead developer ... and now treats me like an idiot .. wasn't going to renew but now am 3 months into another 12 months ...

its just fucked up all round - but fuck it -

I have to endure numerous corporate jargon junkies at work. It's fucking maddening.

I'll ping you on that deliverable later. :icon19:

Try to expedite that, as it's a real value-add proposition. I'm sure we can leverage our core competencies to proactively facilitate this.

This is starting to sound like a Ja-Rule song. :lol:

Post by **R00k** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 8:37 pm

Yes, we need a robust solution, and I'll throw together a presentation that highlights our value-add in this - James, can you have a pow-wow with the bean counters and nail down a number to show the bigwigs our ROI for this project?
Great.

We'll regroup here to go over the numbers at eleven-hundred on Wednesday, sound good?
