My Boss pt 1

This is just the introduction to my boss. I've spoken on my coworkers but I don't think I've put into words who my boss really is.

Yet, its really hard to describe him (in a good light).

We all have a coworker that we work with that we just wonder, "How in the hell did they get this job?" - meet my boss.

This is the type of guy you know had to "know" someone to get up the ladder. There is no true explanation on why he got to where he is today on his management skills. Lets just just say him and basic common knowledge on managing don't work well together. This is the type of person who will forget secretary's day but throw a fit if anyone in his office forgets bosses day. I am talking literally "fit" here people, as in calling everyone in his office at the end of "bosses" day and ask each and every person if there was something he could do better.

Okay, I know what you might be thinking, "Well, that sounds like a good idea - he's trying to grow and work with his people."

WRONG!

How would you like to be called in there 5 minutes to 5:00 p.m. and there are over 15 people in there and he insist on have each and every person speak. Oh wait, its Friday so apparently we would like to stay there throughout the weekend.

Still sound like a stand-up guy?

All sarcasm aside it is truly difficult to understand the methods behind this individual. I like to watch Animal Planet when there is nothing good on television. I watch how the animals behave. The methods they use to raise their cubs or how they attack their prey. I try to use this same behavior knowledge in the workforce. I mean after all it is a dog-eat-dog world.

Sorry for the bad pun it but I was dying to use it in the analogy.

Nonetheless, I noticed that my boss is the type of "king of the jungle" whom sits in the shade all day and has his subjects gather food for him. Then if the kill is not juicy enough for the king he will thrash about like that of deer caught in the jaws of an alligator.

Okay, not that serious but rather 'thrash' about like a two year old who you just told they can't have ice cream.

The imagery of a grown man - better yet - a grown man in CHARGE of a staff and close to 10 million dollars in sales one would think he could handle himself a lot better in such circumstances....well....obvisously not in this case.

I introduce you to my boss.
