This is the DUMBESTthing
This is the DUMBESTthing I've ever heard of. It is simply more mind reading attempts by voodoo artists. This kind of stuff poisons-the-well when people like me, who have integrity, try to defend themselves against malicious managers.In fact, the single more dangerous person to my organization is my immediate manager. His characteristics follow:
1) over committed
2) arrives at work early and leaves late
3) constantly sabotages employees work (documented fact).
4) manager constantly modifies web site files without notification.
5) manager constantly assigns work and demands unrealistic completion withing a few minutes or hours at the end-of-the day.
The list goes on.
Funny how they always assume the employee is guilty and never nail the managers.
Such is the new American slavery, scape goating, and employee sabotage by American business manager who get away with murder.
