" I have an intimidating boss who loves to push our team around. He has two of my colleagues do his work for him while he sits in his cubicle watching the golf channel and surfing eBay for Nike golf apparel. He’s obsessed with golf. In times of server crashes he runs around the office blaming everyone for not caring instead of coordinating our efforts and leading the way. Then he expects us to fix the problem overnight without compensation while he leaves work at 4PM. He heard the term “Self Managed Teams” and said perfect and advised us to become one just like that. Yet if I come 5 min late in the morning he lectures me on being punctual just before he leaves for half an hour to get breakfast, on top of his 1 hour lunch break where he goes home to watch OC and a half an hour afternoon coffee break. He refers to himself as an Engineer but really he’s a college technician. He truly believes he can be the Vice President of Information Technology of a $65 Billion company yet when I suggest implementing an IEEE standard for our team he responds by asking “what’s that?” He’s all talk but no action.."
