The "I work with dumb people" thread

[maulhead]

I've been paying a lot of attention to Bill's posts. He likes to argue. A hell of a lot. Doesn't matter what subject, he goes on the offense as if it is his default position.

New word for 2024 in the dictionary.

 

[JoeDirt]

Is there a way to professionally, not even politely, just professionally, call your boss a useless sack of *s-word?

 

[Nutball]

Have someone pay you. You're a professional if you get paid, right?

 

[pbillyi69]

Is there a way to professionally, not even politely, just professionally, call your boss a useless sack of *s-word?

perhaps suggesting that he has some more in-depth traing so that he can fully understand his lack of knowledge

 

[pbillyi69]

of you could say that in your professional oppinion that he is in fact a worthless *s-word bag

Tell him it is customary for someone to be promoted a couple levels past their last level of usefulness.

I nearly got fired at my last employer, for telling my boss I admired his flexibility for a man his age. He asked me to explain, and I said there aren't many people capable of sticking their head that far up their ass....

I would be escorted to the door if I said that to a manager where I work,

I would be escorted to the door if I said that to a manager where I work,

Which is exactly why I have been self employed my entire life.

 

[They call me Mr. Kibbs]

True dat, there are perks to being the boss, but it ain't always what its cracked up to be.
But then again, if I truly do stick my head up my arse at work I'd expect my guys to tell me, and in no uncertain terms...shoot, the family has no problem letting me know!

I've just had to learn more tactful ways of informing coworkers/ managers that they aren't very bright.

 

[full chizel]

Just tell them that wisdom has been chasing them for a long time, but they always seem to run faster.

They’ll get the hint

I nearly was, but I had no patience left for that management team or company. I legitimately wanted to get let go. I ended up quitting a year later

 

[redline4]

I'm rather fortunate. I work in a place not at all PC or corporate. I'm also very secure in my job. I regularly tell my manager to spit one of the other coworkers dicks out and do his job.
I've also said that if he wasn't so busy felching jizz from another guys butthole he might actually have time to know what's actually transpiring out in the shop.
There's plenty of other things I've said over the last 27 years here..

I have no knots in my tongue to name call any of my coworker leeches and that includes calling my direct superior a $#!tpile of a man (rough translation) in front of other workers.

I can say the above helped in a way as the dumb folk don't interact with me actively no more which gives me a bit of piece and quiet at work.

So!
How often are You starting in the mirror and having a loose tongue towards Your boss?
Ever hit Your thumb with a hammer on purpose just to remind the boss who the boss is?

My boss is a prick. I have to watch what I say to him.

 

[Lnk]

I actually have competent coworkers and immediate bosses that are Also competent. Now corporate is a different animal. Our safety guy sent out a cold weather bullet point email where he said, #2 Use waterfowl to prevent pipe freezing. I know it was a typo, but the a55hat only sends out one email a month, you would think he would proofread it

Amen

My current employer is getting dangerously close to becoming my previous employer, so I might have to remember these. I'm really not one to have to get the last word in or sling mud, but of all of the managers I've ever had in the half dozen or so jobs I've work in both public and private sectors, I've had some bad ones, but this guy is the most condescending, useless, lying waste of *f-wording space I've ever had to deal with.

Anyway I stopped by one of the competing parts stores today and checked to see if they had an open spot. They do, and their manager recognized me as a customer and got my name, said he'll pull my application when I submit it online.
