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.
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.
I work in a regional chain grocery store in the deli-bakery department for the past 17 years.
My new boss woman came from another store.She is lazy-has others to do her work and nasty-will not throw out out-of-date- food,tries to “convert it”by selling it on the hot line.
Any time you suggest anything to improve sales,etc. she gets whiney and starts yakking” that she knows what she’s doing,been doing her job for 22 years,etc.etc”.So it’s pointless
The only reason why my store manager keeps her, is that no-one wants the job.However, the department sales are $30,000 less than last years’ sales.
My friend, Pete worked for a boss that was into mystic meditation and reading crystals. When he went in to interview, the man stared at the walls and the ceiling but not at Pete. Pete stopped talking and just stared at him.
I’m sensing your aura, dude. Keep talking,” he said.
He hired Pete. Pete took the job because there wasn’t another one out there.
It was a shipping company and pretty busy. But the boss didn’t pay his bills. Consequently, Pete was left to deal with a slew of companies wanting their money. He tap-danced as best he could. Clients started calling lawyers and collection agencies.
One day this businessman came storming over to “beat the money out of him” that the boss owed. Pete called the police. The secretary went home. The boss went downstairs and had the building manager lock him in the basement vault until the “madman” was gone!
Pete told the boss, “It makes no sense to not pay our bills.”
“Everyone’s against me,” the boss said. “Cosmic forces are conspiring to ruin me.” He suggested they stop working and just meditate.
My friend, Pete is Irish and this was his first job in the US. He thought we were all crazy if this guy was normal. “This guy never would have been able to run a business in Ireland,” he told me.
“Why not?” I asked.
“Because they would have locked the loon up!” he said.
He told the boss, “Maybe we can shift the balance of cosmic forces back and change our karma.”
“How?” his boss asked.
“By paying our bills!” Pete shouted, throwing the bills down on his desk.
Pete decided to quit the company. He was the book keeper and they were running out of money. Soon they would not have any to make payroll with. He went in on a Saturday to pack things up at his desk so when he handed in his resignation letter the following Monday morning he could make a quick exit.
The boss was in the office with a lady he introduced as his spiritual mentor. They were chanting and sprinkling what looked like dust or glitter on everyone’s desk, ringing a bell and saying something in a foreign language.
His boss told him they were dispelling the bad spirits in the place to reverse the company’s finances.
The mentor told Pete he had a greedy aura.
Pete told them goodbye.
