I found this on the net and though i share with you. Its funny …… and maybe educational as well!!
- Never offer fair market pay.
- Constantly underestimate the
time it takes to get things done and then penalize employees' bonuses
because they didn't hit the goal. - Talk more than you listen.
- Don't trust written time cards.
Make employees email you when they get to the office so you can see a
timestamp when they get in. - Always take sides in disputes
instead of moderating. - Avoid looking people in the
eye. - Reprimand employees in front of
the entire team. - Hire someone that is very weak
to take the place of a veteran and expect the same results from the team. - Reprimand Mr. Mark but don't
reprimand Mr. Tony when he makes the same error. - Consistency is good. Never ask
you employees if they are challenged enough or want to take on more
responsibility. - Make promises to internal
customers but have no idea on the elements involved in getting the task
done. - You know that Mr. Tony is a slacker,
but he is really cool to hang out with so keep him around and give him
good reviews. - Mrs. Suzy can take 20 minute
breaks instead of 10 because she's a little cuter than Mr. Paul. - Give your employees 2nd tier
systems to work with but expect top tier results. - Never cross train anybody on
anything. The skills they walked in with are the skills they are leaving
with. - Mandate a new policy without
consulting a single person that will have to live with it. - Give employees low raises
because the more you save, the higher your bonus. - When talking to an employee on
the phone, type away at your email. That's a great time to catch-up! - When someone comes to you with
an issue regarding another employee, use a lot of big words to explain the
situation but really take no interest or action. - Create a desk cleanliness
policy. - When Mrs. Suzy comes in late
and leaves early, and we complain, do nothing about it. - Instead of offering to help
hands-on, watch from a distance and provide support over email. - Mandate that the entire team
use a single to-do list application simply because you think it's best. - Make your best employees train
the newbies for weeks at a time but insist that all deadlines be met. - Never answer your cell phone.
- Never be the on-call guy to
share in the team burden. - Have a group of employees that
you get a long with and go out to lunch with while those that you don't
like get left out. - Send employees lots of chain
letters, poems and other crap spam when they are hard at work. - Constantly give your employees
vague project plans and get pissed when the result is not what you wanted. - Refuse to upgrade a system
after the entire team asks for it and then be sure not to give a valid
reason. - Blame everything on your boss
because no one will ever call you on it. - Do not let employees expense
cell phone use but require a cell phone number for the on-call guy. - Shut off access to the Internet
because it's not "required for work". - Never let employees hangout and
use the corp. network to play games after hours. - Tell employees to do plan B
because you will save $11 even though plan A is the safer, more efficient
way to go. - I don't care what they are
working on. No one should get a computer monitor larger than yours - Insist employees come to your
wife's silly Barbecue. - Give advice on topics you are
only partially educated in. - When the kudos are handed out,
you should take the credit because you managed the team. Do not give
credit to anyone else. - Monitor all phone use.
- Charge someone 0,25 days off
for a dentist appointment. - Lecture the team at least
weekly. - Hold team meetings to provide
updates even though the updates only pertain to one-third of team. - Buy the team lunch and always
forget that Vegetarian in the corner…he'll come around. - Make the team fill out self
evaluations but provide very vague feedback on what they type. - Sleep with that girl Suzy on
the team. No one will suspect she's getting preferential treatment. - Call the redhead guy on the
team Rusty. Everyone will laugh and you are sure to win their hearts. - Make sure the working cubicles
are as close to each other as physically possible. The open areas
surrounding the group will be used eventually. - Make the entire team read a
book and then set aside 3 hours to discuss it. This is sure to increase
productivity. - Let a couple people work from
home, but provide no reason for it or ways for others to obtain the right. - Insist that employees complete
projects that even you admit are worthless.
