Jerk Bosses I have Known and Endured | Dedicated to Those Poor Souls Who Survived in Their Jobs and Prospered " In Spite of Management"

TAG | Supervisor

You may well have heard the phrase bantered around “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs’ or roughly translated girls go to Clear Lake to find a boyfriend and guys …..
Or put another way “Paradigm shift’ as quoted by the management consultant Harold Howden – “at the sales meeting all of these suits were repeating the phrase “”Paradigm Shift”….. I had no idea what they meant….. you mean its like the farmer’s wife who kissed the cow because she wanted to ”

To a large degree , good communication requires mutual understanding a two way street. and adequate information about the subjects on hand involved. Lol when it comes to your boss. His only concern may be in getting into the customer’s pants.

Empathy ? Forget that.

Empathy means in general situating yourself to understand a situation. Communication has to improve to the degree that a person can see, sense and fully “feel” what the other person is seeing , comprehending or understanding. Lots of luck when you have a closed mind , that is all about power and inflicting your own power over others.

“The rules are golden and they are my rules’

Ultimately intelligent and wise people learn in life that ultimately you can control very little in life – not even yourself to the greatest degree so don’t even try.
Yet many a boss , manager or supervisor has “died trying”
Reminds one of a slogan outside a live bait shop “Our bait will catch fish or die trying”
Hope that your boss does.

To be or not to to be.

You might think that your boss or supervisor was put on earth by the creator him or herself for that very role in the universe – in the creation of things , events , places and situations in the entire universe .

How grandiose and downright preposterous .

You might well think that your manager grew up in the family of an alcoholic top down management style  of  the Romans,  a biker gang , General Motors or perhaps the railway.

Some things remain in the blood so to speak , and can never be learnt over , or unlearned.

What a waste of time.  Most people somehow complete their work, satisfy their customer base all somehow working around or in spite of their management  and  “head office”

Perhaps it can be viewed that the creator put your boss on earth as a personal test to yourself , your work ethics , morals and scruples.

Imagine your boss as the manager and supervisor of a school-bus

Here he is indeed after a careful search and hiring process by the below questionnaire – no expense  ( of the expense and travel accounts )  was spared in the search for accurate testing process for new hires and company presidents.

The much fabled “Xerox PSS Course”  ” Sell me that pen” ,  could be summarized as little more than close to $ 5,000 spent hire or trained monkey all to learn to repeat the phrase – “hmm”

Citing Contrary Evidence

More works from the wise or the “bosses training handbook or manual”.

The American comic and comedian Woody Allen noted in his classic film Anny Hall that “Those that cannot do teach.  Those that cannot teach , teach gym.”  In today’s world they become your boss , supervisor or “manager”.   It can be said that in the manager’s instruction manual (s) either the pages are blank, or have only one page “Hello my friend”  or ” Always start with something positive”.

Here is yet another example entitled “Citing Contrary Evidence’.  From a damage control standpoint , one of the most difficult situations ti manage in the employment interview is having to disclose that you were evaluated by a current or former boss or that you or the boss simply did not get along”  .. How you manage these topics will certainly have a major impact on interviewing results and is therefore worthy of some careful planning on your part.”

You moron – why not either be quiet or simply tell the truth  ?

Any of a number of outward manifestations or traits can well provide a better idea , an insight or insights into what your boss / supervisor / manager is really like and what really portends his mind or what perhaps goes on his / her or its little mind.

Never mind the little chatter ( none of which is off the cuff) that comes out of their mouths. What is really going on . What are the real concerns and area of focus ? That is other than getting into power – to be in the real position to effect change towards what they feel is “right ” “proper” or to drive that big new Cadillac perk – never mind that the vehicle of choice has now moved on to new models and types. So much for progressive proactive thinking. Its all still way back there in the “stone age”.

As an example and case in point one manager went on at great lengths regarding a discussion he had with a novice , and still relatively untouched , marketing type. The conversation was about the skills – or better simply put coercive management skills of Atilla the Hun. Atilla was widely successful in conquering and tormenting vast areas of geography. He was known as the evil Rasputin of his day. Still he not only was successful , he was an effective manner of men. Atilla did not do the work himself but by command of the troops. The summary of Atilla’s management style was that troops showed loyalty to Atilla and Atilla rewarded the troops.   It all depends which side of the fence or side you are on .     Good and evil is only subjective.  If you are on Atilla’s side the rape and pillage and rewards would be great.  If on the other side of the victims’  then not so good.  The message to any listeners was ” I am a bastard ” but if you show loyalty to me and my projects I will reward you greatly. “Get with the program”

Do they think that they are on ?Planet Zoltar? and have ?Mind Control? powers over you like on Star Trek? ?Beam me up Scotty there is no intelligent life here? is certainly the buzzword.
Power is often defined as the capacity to get what you want or the ability to influence others. Ultimately though in life most reasonable people learn that you have very little control and certainly very little control over others.

Yet this powerful urge still persists among many management and supervisor types. The same type of people who beat you up in the sandbox when you were 4 years old are now trying to be in roles of management.

In a recent study on what was termed “E-power? a team of workplace psychologists wanted to see whether having power changed how well people understood the viewpoints of others. The researchers asked volunteers to recall personal incidents where either they had power over others or others had power over them.

Past studies have revealed that such recollections had exactly the same effects as actually placing people in positions of power or limited power. If for example it turned out that regardless of whether people were given power or simply remembered possessing it, they were more likely to assert themselves and take risks all for the better or worse.

77 student volunteers to draw the letter Z on their own foreheads. More than a decade of experiments have shown that people who write the Z in a way that is legible to themselves but backwards to others have not thought or cared about how others might perceive the letter. On the other hand, people who draw the Z backward to them but legible to others have considered another person’s  point of view.

Amazingly it turned out that the study subjects who believed that they possessed ?recollected power? were almost four to six times as likely to draw their letter Z in a way that was backwards to others than those who recollected an experience of limited powers and abilities.

Thus it terms out when people or in your case management or supervisory staff have power they go on to make your life more than miserable.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

However can be empathy in the management role? Is this possible in the real world?

Highly unlikely. After extensive research in controlled settings it turns out that those who had these imaginary perceived power abilities were less able to judge emotions rather than having greater abilities. This is the opposite of what you would think.

After all great time, energy, training and life skills go into the choice and training of ?management and supervisory? staff. You would think that if anything these carefully chosen individuals since they are involved in the ?management and motivation of their staff? would be at the extreme end of human emotion perceptual judgment skills.

It is true in the end. You were not hallucinating or imagining it. Your boss is more than clueless. He is also most likely the type to say ” I have learned the gold rule”. “The rules are golden and they are My RULES’. How original. The mentality of a 2 year old.
