You know, a manager is born, not made. And certainly not groomed. While some may lead by example and others might lead by iron fist, you have to admit that some people are just born to lead. This has led to a very interesting discussion that we recently had trouble with one of them.

If those idiots are short sighted, lame and does not have the tendencies to protect his men even when they’re right, how is he going to perform his job? How about other types that just like to blame on somebody other than himself?

This is the signs of a bad manager.

In any case, my company tends to view managers as something to get things done. In truth, they’re not. Most of them are promoted because there are vacancies and they were given executive rights but never do them correctly.

Like what Michael Ooi has said, our place has too many twats being promoted to a managerial level. Because of that, they tend to follow what the upper management said, even though sometimes it’s impossible. Take for example one of our dispatch revisions. These idiots expected to have 0% when obviously there can never be 0% at any given time.

And to makes matter worse, they also concluded that ‘DOA’ (Dead on Arrival) is Technical Support’s fault. Something that Technical Support didn’t even lay their hands on! Think of the logic for a moment here: how are we going to improve ourselves when they are slapping things that are totally out of our control?

It is like they cut themselves even when using a simple safety utility knife.

Now you can see the reason why our management is going to suck for a long time to come.
