Re: Pro boss moves
[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="laudablepuss"]Always send emails in goofy colors and fonts, and everything bolded. Misspell team member's names. Click send while in the middle of typing a sentence. Do not followup or show any indication of noticing that your email just ends like that. Keep up the great abbreviations, like "he sez wifi is back up" Ask keen, insightful questions. Like when I send over a quote I got from a vendor, ask "do we pay this all at once?" I guess he wants to amortize a bill for $14k. This after he said that cost isn't an object for this project. 5 minutes after team meetings start, send an IM saying "go ahead without me". Do this *all the time* Another keen, insightful question: "what's going on?" I bet the answer was in one of those meetings. Also the email I sent. Also the IMs we sent back and forth.[/quote] Just now: join the meeting late, be totally lackadaisical with "how is everyone?" (nobody replied btw because he's an asshole), waste time during the meeting, then with 4 minutes left and half the team still waiting to give updates, get snippy with team members for not giving quicker updates. "I have a meeting after this". OMFG The actual worst thing relates to him being a giant dildo to our vendors and now one of them won't talk to me. Maybe I'll go into that later.[/quote]
