So, the one manager here was out of town for the week. The HR manager asked him to type up a word document that he needed and to e-mail it to him, and he needed to add some stuff to it once he got it. So what does he do? He types it up in Word, prints it out, then scans it back onto the computer and e-mails it to him as a PDF image. And then deletes the Word document...

[rofl]

So HR had to retype the whole thing off the PDF as opposed to waiting on him to do it and resend it properly.

Anyone else have some stupid boss moments they'd like to share?

My boss just mutters Oh **** and Oh Sugar from behind his desk every 5 minutes and counts up to 10. When I ask him what he's counting he says computers, yet the number never goes higher than 10.

That's just weird moreso than stupid.

[staisacic]

Yeah, that is a bit weird.

[Kafuuil]

could you not just highlight all the text in the PDF and then copy/paste?

No, because it was just a scanned image, saved in PDF format.

LOL got ya, anyone going to tell him his error?

I think the HR person told him, because they called him back asking if he could send the original word file, but he either didn't even save it, or just deleted it after printing and scanning. He's definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed, and asks some of the most asinine questions sometimes. He seriously needs to get fired, but apparently he's good buddies with the GM or something.

He once got caught sleeping at his desk, someone snapped a pic with their cell phone, printed it out and put it in the suggestions box along with the section of the employee handbook where it says sleeping on the clock is grounds for immediate termination. The guy who stuck it in the suggestion box admitted to it and got suspended, while nothing happened to the manager.

[cursing]

I really hate office politics.
