A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be in IT," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be in Management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my f**king fault

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Seagull Manager is a term first dating back to an 1988 Marketing article by Michael Madison, used to describe a management style of interacting with employees only when a problem arises, making hasty decisions about things they have little understanding of, then leaving others to deal with the mess they leave behind.[1]
The term was popularized by Ken Blanchard in his 1999 book Leadership and the One Minute Manager (ISBN 0-688-03969-3) by the following joke: "Seagull managers fly in, make a lot of noise, poop on everyone, then fly out." (p. 38)

I think I read somewhere that this is the year of the idiot, and as Royal Fail managers are amongst some of the finest examples of idiot to be foundL Tommo wrote:Dirty old chap... I like.. "BUFFOONAPHOBIC.." nice ring to it....
I like w****r-APHOBIC... or LYING-BASTARD-APHOBIC... or just SCREWA-PHOBIC...
I blame these two-aphobics... :lfo :cfo
anywhere in the wild, the Chinese people will be leaving out plates of sweet n sour leftovers for any passing idiot/RF manager. I might follow the kind
example as displayed by the Chinese people, I won't give my DIM any food, I'll attach a plug to his chair and in an effort to keep him nice and snug in
his office, I'll plug him into the mains.
I blame those two arch-buffoons, as well...... :lfo :cfo
