How to spot a bad boss

by jojo52 @ 2005-11-26 - 23:42:34

Came across this jolly little piece on the web somewhere..

“….I have come across many different species of IT manager. All are from the genus 'Procurator' and are very dangerous in captivity. Some are now on the World Wildlife Federation's At Risk Register. However, there will certainly be no captive breeding program to preserve them as most would be overjoyed if they disappeared from the Earth.
To help classify these dangerous breeds, I've created the following list of species and character descriptions of some common types of managers. These types are loosely based on some managers I have worked for over the years. As ever, this classification should be taken with a large pinch of salt.”

What excellent definitions of some obnoxious bosses. One manager I was once unfortunate enough to have to work for demonstrated most of the characteristics in that amusing article.

Written down they seem too large for life but in reality they are out there. I am quite lucky with my bosses, they are all sweeties - in their own inimitable way!
