I used to think that, then I got one. Arrogant, small, petty, rude, and refuses to even attempt to cover his mouth when coughing up lung butter. Nut job will be half way through a sentence, cough AT you, then add that I should thank him for strengthening my immune system. Maybe but my blood pressure keeps getting higher...

Someone would do that to me ONCE.
The second time would require a trip to the dentist to reinstall their teeth.
I'm ahead on that one! I could just take mine out first & put 'em back in after! no dentist required!:rockin:
we have a bunch that pretend they don't know you when you've been gone for a few days. yeah, scheisskopfs, I get the joke. it's dumb & over used.
Please tell us you are joking, and you are talking about you 2 year old kid or something - because that is exactly what you described, a 2 year old!

biggest complaint I have is I am not allowed to go postal on them without getting arrested

IPA is my spirit animal
Don't go postal, go costal
Once I was going to tell him my 3 year old had learned to cover her mouth. But though better of it. Numb nuts is apparently important to someone high up.
Ask a question, get a nothing answer...
Call their extension and get voicemail .... every time.
They screw up... you have to fix their mess.
Ask a question... 2 days later, ask the same question again (without response... again)... 1 day later ask the same question again (without response)... 1 week later ask the same question AGAIN (without response).... etc... etc...
I have a huge list.

Or you ask a question that only requires a yes or no response and get an explanation of what has/is happening with out answering the question.
I have been known to point blank ask why they are here or if they even listen when they fail to answer with a yes or no.

Then they explain why they were explaining instead of answering yes or no!

Those who mine for gold at the bottom of their yogurt cup.
Scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape, silence.

Ok, if you didn't get it with the first 12 scrapes, you you really need to go for 13 - 16? And scrapes 17 - 20? How much more yogurt are you getting?

That's because they're still hungry after only eating yogurt. Throw em a porkchop bone.
To heck with them. They brought it on themselves.

A guy at work does the same thing. Not sure how much plastic he's ingested over the years.

Talk about patent pending, I had an idea years ago for a spoon with a center layer made of silicone. Rigidity plus a squeegee layer in the middle. I could be a millionaire!

I work in a social club. My supervisor has been off for a month, with a broken front tooth.
1. Does she think the damn thing is going to grow back? Why isn't it fixed by now?
2. If she's too damn self conscious to come to work, why the hell can she come in to drink/socialise?
But, not making too much fuss because its better without her! Lol

The **** hit the fan with my manager retiring today. My coworker who is now the acting manager is being the acting micromanager.
You would think for being the guy who said he didn't want it that he would be more hands-off.

we had about the same problem in my old shop.

Keep HBT weird.
My branch manager (2nd line supervisor) quit for a new job last September. The guy that got promoted as his replacement has a pretty bad reputation for laziness and procrastination (You'd be fair in wondering how he got the job in the first place, but that's a whole other story).
This week, the Traffic guy from one of the local city governments called the branch manager with a question about our traffic signal software. He didn't respond in a timely manner, so the guy just called the old manager at his new job and asked him instead. :smack:

He'll probably mellow out after awhile. When you first start managing people you tend to overcompensate. Remember, he just got the weight of the world dumped on him. Just let him know you can handle things and he'll back off eventually. Micromanaging is exhausting.

That's what I told my coworker who I was consoling on the phone until midnight. It was a long day for both of them. It's an extremely political project they are working on. The big boss is meddling in the project, giving away the farm in negotiations, and steering the project in the wrong direction.
His stress level has to be through the roof.
I also think the guy who is the acting manager knows he isn't a good manager. He's told me that he is doing it because he was asked to but he won't take the job permanently.
Which is good for me because that makes me most qualified applicant when they decide to advertise the position.

Awe, my experience in who gets the job. It won't be the guy that can best do it. In fact, that guy will likely get shafted for no reason. The most stupid, ignorant, "I'm good at blaming others for my screw-ups" guy, will get the job. God help the rest of you. I'll bet a complete moron with no real experience gets the job. To add insult to injury, I'll only give that poor sap of a tool a 5% chance of even having a college education that is even remotely related to the job he is about to take charge of.
The best you can hope for is that this new boss is hired completely from the outside. If so, he will make some effort to learn the job you have to do. He might even be empathetic, if you are really lucky.
God help you, the world isn't fair, just, or even sane in the least.
Been there, experienced that. I hope your experience if better than mine.

I wish you the best. My experience is that they'll hire an outsider. The theory is that if they promote from within they have to train two people, they guy they promoted and the guy they hired to take his place.
Good luck!

Thanks.
That thought has occurred to me.
I told my wife if they bring in someone from the outside, someone who doesn't know the program, I'm going to sit back and watch it burn for a while.
The learning curve is steep, the consequences for failing an audit can be severe, and my ability to assist the new manager might be hindered by all the field inspections I have to schedule at exactly the same time as the audit.

It has been suggested to me that if I want the manager's job I need to shave the beard off and be more of a Yes Man. I suppose I can go beardless for a couple months. But 50% of the job is contract and construction management. What Yes Man does those things well?

I tell my wife her poop smells like bunnies and rainbows...
an old contract welder I worked with always used to say, "Well, I didn't go in there to make Angel Food Cake." or "I didn't go in there to eat ice cream." he also had to drop one off while driving down the interstate, so he pulled over & dropped one off. right behind his truck, not in the ditch or the passenger side, because he wanted to wave at all the cars going by.:rockin:
Some a$$hat moron dumped a refrigerated piece of equipment off the forklift while loading it onto the truck. "Hey there's a hissing noise coming from this thing...Never mind it stopped!:smack:

As long as it stopped, it's ok, right?

So the acting manager has been at it for six business days now. Including me, he has nine people under him.
He has had shouting arguments with two of us and brought a third to tears.
At this rate he'll piss off the whole section the end of the month.
