Morons I Have Met- 2

 There seems to be a high correlation between Morons and Bosses. There was this guy who left a note at my colleague's desk that he should not be leaving office to play Golf at 4.30. We played on most days after work!

The effect was the opposite of what he intended! We made sure that we played every day!

Another one, pretty early in my career, gave discourses at faculty meeting. Once, when I asked for leave, he quoted service rules and denied the leave! I asked for a copy of those rules, and after making a pretense of searching in his desk drawer, he couldn't find them- never did! 

Maybe I was moronic when I was a boss too- but someone else will write about that, I suppose- so I won't.

Morons I Have Met

 Someone said I should write a book about them, and maybe I will, some day. But here's a preview on a couple.

I once had a one-hour meeting with a superior based in another city, about why our Diesel Generator expenses (on fuel) were high compared to his! We tried explaining (my admin was with me) that we were located in a rural area outside the municipal limits and therefore power cuts were rampant in the area. But after an hour or so, he wasn't convinced. He wanted to look at Power Cut announcements for our city, by the local Electricity board to verify our claims! 

But this may not be the worst of all the M's I have seen on the planet.. just wait for more.
