Is your workplace as effd up as mine?

So my workplace is experiencing a higher that usuall turn over of managers. The office I work in basically consisted of me and a co-worker. We had a manager that left 6 months ago and they are just now replacing him.

The thing is that we don't need a manager as we are capable of handling the minimal administrative tasks that we share just fine. The only reason they are bringing one on is that the office policy calls for it.

Now the new manager comes to us to ask us what his responsibilities are?! It turns out that the previous manager left no turn over info AND his supervisor (who knew what responsibilities our manager had) also left (retired) several months ago! So no one knows why we have to have a manager, just that we have to have one...

...and of course he will get paid more.


cliffs:
- our manager leaves job with no turnover.
- no one has requirement or tasks of the position.
- new manager arrives takes up space and gets more money.
 
sry, should've mentioned that it wasn't available to me or co-worker because it is technically a gubment job and we are contractors.

btw we kinda mentioned to hr that our dept didn't need a replacement manager, but oh well.
 
This is a golden opportunity to mold your manager exactly how he should be, as well as to delegate to him any tasks that you feel are more appropriately handled by management. 😉
 
There is no office more fucked up than mine.

1. Old condom dispenser and "Penises of the Animal Kngdom" poster on the men's bathroom wall.

2. Weapons (shotguns, spears, etc) hanging in offices.

3. Red Losbster-esk nautical-themed office.

4. Absolutely no computer network. Open/individual internet access.

5. First day I saw my boss he stared at me for a few second and then asked if I knew what the fuck I was doing. I answered that I was getting there...He shook his head and walked out.

6. No problem drinking in the office after hours, most people smoke in their offices during the day.

7. There is always a "go fuck yourself" between co-workers every few weeks.

8. Clients with histories of mental issues every week.

sounds like a fun place 😛
 
Technically no, because they went out of business. Of course, going out of business implies my job was way more messed up. I felt it was due mostly to mismanagement, because many of the problems we had existed long before the economy went to hell.

Mine...I've never worked anywhere that had stupid policies or more than a handful of idiots. Not even my part time jobs in high school and college.
