Bosses [NOT 11/10/23]

I have a new boss at work. He asked how I was doing. I said fine and asked him how he was. His answer was ” I’m doing good. The only thing that could make me feel better was if I had two dicks”. I shit you not.

I don’t see him lasting long.

  3. …as happy as a man who needs custom-tailored underwear not to be in constant discomfort?

    …did he pull that turn of phrase from some variant of the story of the monkey’s paw I haven’t heard?

    …good luck with that…& whoever the next one turns out to be, I suppose

  4. My senior bosses are freaking out over an audit from corporate.

    Fucking disaster as we got caught with our pants down (one or two dicks out… not sure.)

    We got reamed out (politely) for something not at our level as design of processes/systems is management’s issue not the work bees.

  5. I’ve been blessed with two very good bosses over the past few years.  The last one got promoted, and one of my colleagues took his place.  This is his first go at managing people, but I think my previous boss spent a lot of time working on him so that he could be good at his new role even before anyone had any idea that there would be these promotions.  The new boss was a real dick when I first met him as a colleague three years ago.  But, at some point there was a definitive shift in his attitude and how he deals with people.  He’s not afraid to go to the mattresses for us, which is a good quality in a boss.  Plus, his time as a worker bee is still so fresh that he has empathy for all the shit we deal with.  Today he called me to let me know about one more fucking stupid thing I’m going to have to deal with.  I said, “kick me again–it doesn’t hurt anymore.”  He laughed and then asked what he could do to make it easier for me.  I told him and he said no problem.  I like that.

    The last three bosses before them were not great.  One was completely untrustworthy because she would throw people under the bus.  The other two were total psychopaths.  One of the psychopaths retired–and then tried to unretire and got shut down.  The other just up and quit last month.

  11. my new ish boss…does not seem to come from a manufacturing background

    nothing puts a smile on his face like seeing all the lines backed up…hell ready to ship machines lining the hallways even better!

    always makes a comment in passing along the lines of nice! really churning them out today

    …..

    well…actually.,..we are completely logjammed again and nothings getting out of the door

    ….he’ll figure it out eventually if he compares production numbers to actually got fucking shipped numbers…..one day….maybe
