Stupid Bosses

I work for a daily newspaper as a page designer and editor. While working on the front page of the food section, the features editor hands me a printout of the main photo for the page.

The photo shows a picture of a bowl of gazpacho, surrounded by peppers and onions. I read through the photo caption, checking for mistakes, and discover that the idiot photographer has written the caption to read, “Chef So and So is entering his fresh vegetable GESTAPO in the annual Soup Challenge.” Gestapo. I am not making this up.

And our managing editor still believes the precious photographers can do no wrong.

A typical thing that my stupid boss does is to have a half assed idea about something and then leave me to figure out how to make it work. That way I end up doing all the work and having all the heart ache, and my boss can take all the credit because in his eyes all I was doing is finishing off something that he started.

There’s a Dilbert cartoon that sums him up brilliantly where Dilbert’s boss says “I didn’t know how to design a power supply, so I put a nail in a piece of wood… I’ll leave my files with you so you can finish it off while I’m on holiday”.

That just so sums up my stupid lazy boss!

Stupid Bosses

I’m a teacher in a huge public school. My principal is the most self-centered, obnoxious “c”-word I’ve ever known. In fact, let’s just call her “The C”. When The C got a big fat bonus for improved test results, she bought herself some luxury items (can’t get too specific here, but let’s say one of them involves anally electrocuted animals) and the teachers who did the actual work got some praise from her & nothing else.

The C has her little pets & anything they do is fine. They could shit on the floor & she would fall all over them with praise & happy dance. Her pets get away with murder.

The C is incompetent. She knows nothing about teaching or what goes on in a classroom. All she wants to know is that the bigwigs will be impressed with “her” school when they visit. She learns some education buzzwords & tosses them around to make herself look like she knows what she’s talking about. She has no idea what they mean, but we better be doing them in our classroom or else!

The C hates me because I’m not afraid to blow the whistle on her. The way she gets back at me is to hurt my students, I can’t be specific about here. All I want to do when I get to school is shut myself in my room with my students. I put all my energy towards them & try to shut out the immoral, hypocritical bullshit.

The vice-principal told me that The C mocks me behind my back. And I overheard The C talking about the vice-principal by saying that she (The C) doesn’t trust Jews. She’s an ignorant racist who hates white people & nonchristians. I’m both.

Now that you know all this, you will see how repulsive it is when The C makes a big deal about how Christian she is. She makes me S.I.C.K!!! I would be thrilled if something awful and painful happened to her, like if she was abducted by torturers I really would be happy. At least I know the miserable C will rot in hell when she finally dies.
