Stupid is as stupid does

You can never argue with a boss but not all bosses are necessarily right. Sometimes their decisions can be stupid and no buts are allowed. So be it. He is the boss after all. A stupid one.

Years ago, somebody came up with a form to be filled and some of the information required is irrelevant and does not play a part. He still wants it filled because the space is there. Whatever for? No buts. Just fill it up because he is too OCD to see an unfilled space. Whatever. As long as it shuts him up.

He has a grammar problem too. He wanted a meeting from 9 am to 10.30 am but he wrote that he wanted a meeting 'between 9am and 10.30am for one and a half hours'. Bad grammar can lead to miscommunications. Shame on him for giving instructions that nobody can understand. It left people wondering what did he really mean and he was rude about explaining what he meant.

He is blunt, rude and demanding. When you make one mistake. He labels you forever. He still lives in the past. He works like a civil servant from an ancient generation. The younger folks cannot accept that authoritative and demanding behavior where 'the boss is always right'. That is why it's hard to keep staff around here. He is an ass and talks like its easy to get things done. He is not even in our shoes to feel it from our angle.

No one can read his mind and bad English and yet he complains he can't read ours. Stupid jackass. Eff to him for sending so much negative vibes to everyone and hurting our feelings. Stupid b******. $&@"?!!

Phew! It feels so good to let it all out.
