Am I Just Old or Are Management Types Getting Stupider?

Beginning to become more than a bit trite, tbf

I don’t do any job any more: the facts simply speak for themselves.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

I’m sure that was

I thought that was Bertrand Russel?

[Professor_Chaos]

Yes.

I’m 100% confident it was Bertrand Russell

@MGOwner

I made a formal complaint about his performance.
Today I find out he has blamed me for his fuck ups.
Sadly, our Area Manager is too thick and self-centred to be able to decipher his lies.

No reference to previous performance, no investigation, no consultation. We are now both been given Action Plans to improve our performance. While initially, this seems a bit unfair, I see it as a win. He obviously thought that he could cover up his incompetence. However, my colleague will fail to meet his targets. Also, I may have told a few too many people about it.

Onward from this today;
The Area Manager has had a change of mind. My Action Plan has been rescinded.
It turns out that there has been a deputation of Staff singing my praises over the last couple of days. Whereas, not a good word was said about my colleague. None of this was expected. When I heard this, I had a little sob.

My colleague’s signed statement is now being used against him. His lies are coming home to roost. The lie in question ? That I had lost control and put everybody in danger. Where he falls down is, if I had lost control, why didn’t he step in and take over ?

I was told “officially” today that I will be required to give testimony at his Disciplinary Investigation. I will enjoy this !

It’s like a psychotic fucking playground, where you work.

[MGOwner]

Heavily institutionalised flawed cunts trying to cover their incompetence. So yeah !

[spacehopper]

Excellent news Terry

[Mrs_Maureen_OPinion]

That’s a bit more fucking like it!

[malbec]

Great news. Your staff obviously (rightly) hold you in high esteem.
Stick it to the jumped-up shit. Hope the cunt gets what he deserves. Can’t stand fuckers who try to push the blame on others for their own incompetency

[Ruprecht]

Clamly, with bass in your voice… “Ladies and gentlemen of the board, I would like to take this time to present to you Exhibit A”. (Now pointing at jumped up ejit)

“A CUNT.”

[crimsondonkey]

Excellent result. The classiest thing to do is act completely unperturbed, almost unware of the fuss, and just let this dick hang himself.

[Valvebloke]

Yes. You don’t want him to turn it into him versus you. It has to be clear that it’s him versus everyone.

[malbec]

Pity we can’t see a live stream from the hearing. I’d definitely buy a ticket for that

In my head Terry will be wearing a wig and gown

And a black square on top of the wig

Well played Terry. In my head not Rick Wakeman but more a flute, tights, on one leg, on platform two for an hour.
