A dumbwit of a fucking boss

In all my twenty five years of automotive selling, I have encountered some good and bad bosses. Some I worked with are either utterly incompetent or fucking morons.

I had this one superior who came to work every day always past eleven in the morning. He would call his managers at lunch time like as if to him lunchtime is nine in the morning. He forgot that he comes to work close to noon. He also ensures all his staff clock in with the punch card machine at nine in the morning while he is still stretching himself in bed.

This particular idiot of a boss abhors "remote control management" from his managers and yet he himself would stay away from office during the weekends only to call in to ask how many cars have been sold. That's some dumbwit moron for you.

He smokes in his room knowing well that it is against the law to smoke in an air conditioned office and at that with his poor pregnant secretary sitting just outside his door. Does he care?

This same guy also got one of his managers to queue up for "ba kwa" during one Chinese New Year. Mind you, that "ba kwa" was for his own personal consumption. Why would any fucking idiot abuse his powers like that?

It's interesting to note that when his managers left, he was left to feign for himself only to get the boot after some dismal results. He asked to prolong his departure as he was waiting for his PR application. Months later, he took the company to court with a bonus claim. How's that for gratitude?

He even went as far as getting three witnesses to prove his point the dismal results were not his fault. None of them seems interested in supporting his claim. What a loser?

The old adage holds true, the higher you are the harder you fall. Today, the high and mighty have fallen badly and he's made to eat his humble pie. His fall from grace has been well celebrated albeit he is still complaining that his ex company has not given him a farewell party.

Really when you look at all the companies he has been with, you will understand how pathetic his track record is. What has he achieved insofar? To add insult into injury his ex company is doing so, so much better without him.

His ever popular three big boasts has always been, "I don't need to work," being headhunted by a Dubai company for a million dollar job and 20 years of car business experience. Well .... for that number one boast, he is still working, two, not for a Dubai company but one with a pay cut and a designation drop, and last but not least that "Twenty years of experience is no better than one year of experience repeated twenty times."

That's management for you. Come to think of it, I am into the belief you don't need brains to be a boss. Any asshole will do. It looks like very soon he will be driving a cab. This sad loser sucks big time.

It makes you wonder why the man is so easy on him. Maybe he's giving him a rope to hang himself.
