I did briefly consider that this might be akin to distributing a bomb-making recipe (very dangerous information in the wrong hands) but I actually believe most bad managers aren’t deliberately bad. They are far more likely to be ignorant of how destructive their actions are. As Hanlon’s Razor states: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” [...] [...] Good stuff over at Angry 365 Days a Year: This is not intended as a how-to guide for wannabe satanic managers.

I was going to do an equal time response about unnecessarily crappy attitudes from staff making managers angry - I'll use this one of yours if you don't mind. Paul: ah yes, nothing like that feeling that someone who knows less than you has no respect for your knowledge and.or skills melissa: lip service! I should have included that - saying they want to know problems but then not responding. Stephen: The Office makes me cringe - it's far too much like a real documentary than a comedy. And your point about honest feedback is well taken, it's scary when people don't want to face real issues and choose to shoot the messenger. aboutmakingmoney: you read my mind!

The original version with Ricky Gervaise. The Manager who wants to be popular and thinks he is entertaining. I would also add to the list. "Get rid of people who are open and honest with you about the organisation you work for and where improvements can be made. Discourage criticism and debate. Never wonder wonder why your customers and employees are leaving in droves for the competition."

Managers interfering and overriding the professional opinions of their employees. For example, I worked for a company in which the Sales Director overrode the design and interface descisions of the actual senior designer. As you can imagine the design and interface of the product then turned out to be far from professional. Another example, when I worked for another company my manager thought it was his place to tell me how to write good code. His qualification? A chemistry degree, no development training, and no experience. He didnt even know what SELECT DISTINCT does in SQL (we were building a heavy use of a DB web based application). I have a number 11.
