Middle and upper management can be a super sweet gig at a lot of companies. Higher pay, fewer demands on time, and much longer rope. I have seen upper management types come in late, leave early, take days off without informing anyone (except presumably the higher ups). It's like the entire concept of time management and penalties for not having their butt in a chair from 8am to 5pm are gone. All that is required for these positions is basic competency and soft skills - The biggest added stressor is having to sit in and contribute to regular meetings. Anybody with an ounce of charisma and drive can get into those spots with time, as long as they are likeable to the right people.

What they need is more hard workers who will make the money for the company, and less bosses. It just overall illustrates just how mismanaged the company is overall, and how the solutions only reinforce the problem.

Every see Anthony Quinn in that b^w movie, Barbarabus??? 2,000 years ago in the Roman mercury mines, due to safety issues, mercury fumes, beatings, and starvation, the average life expectancy for the slave was five months. Today, the average employment length for Walmart is............drum roll.......five months. in 2,000 years nothing has changed.

To be fair, they got some really good info from him. 1) 8 bosses on just one wageslave ? Wayy too much management, time to fire a few. 2) Only about 15 minutes of real work a day ? Potential for much more work out of this guy. 3) Motivation, obviously something they need to work on. 4) Lombard is so unpopular that he takes the sidedoor to avoid him - Fire Lombard. 5) TPS reports : A huge time waster in the company, including the covers. 6) No profit from working extra hours = no motivation, see #3. 7) The dude is so far past caring, that he might just be telling the truth!

@@onlinedebatecamp I was halfway through your post and thought, "this boss is going to call you back". I was correct 😂 When you stand up to a bully and win, you at least earn respect from them. You're probably the only person to have done that to him.

True story: After having a difficult year I was close to getting a burnout. On a Thursday afternoon I left the office an hour early without telling anyone just to give myself an extra hour of rest. Waking up the next day I realised I needed some more time and after thinking what an asshole my boss could be I didn't bother to call in sick. When Monday came, I decided to just not come to work at all and ignored all calls and texts. After a week I texted my boss that I wasn't feeling mentally well and continued ignoring him. After two more weeks I felt relaxed and rested and felled like I didn't care anymore if I was still on the payroll there or not. So I texted him if I could come by after the weekend and it gave me so much peace that I couldn't care less if he told me to fuck off or not. So I went back to my work that next Monday and in the 'meeting' they all set up they had no idea how to handle the situation of someone who wanted to get back to work but at the same time also didn't care if he got fired. I still work there, I work kinda hard, but I also say no when I don't feel like going the extra mile. I just don't care.

Always loved this scene. I've never really worked in an office environment, but I can still totally relate. I was in charge of production (and shipping, and logistics, and planning, etc) for a company and the owner was a complete moron. His idea of efficiency was working with as few people as possible and push everyone to their limits, then complain when goals weren't hit. I put my foot down with him and told him I wasn't going to do things that way because it just didn't work. The day I was pulled off to the side after a meeting and told "I didn't do enough" was the day I decided I was done. I told others what I was told and they were in shock. I found another job a few months later (doing less work for the same money) and put in my two weeks and they went into panic mode. They offered me about a 35% pay increase to stay and I told them I was good. I let the guys (outside of upper management) know if they needed any help with anything after I left to call me. I didn't want to screw them over because of ownership dumbassery. I got several calls, and some were for help while others were telling me about the disasters evolving. Long story short, more people started leaving, and the company folded shortly after.
