yardhippie 0 #1 September 27, 2006 A guy who I met while on my latest trip had a philosophy about work. He is an older man, and it was just announced he is retiring. He claims to have learned it during his tours in Vietnam. "Keep you head low and your mouth shut" Its official. I will now be hiding in my cube and not offering my opinion, because it just dont matter. The corporate world can be so disheartening.

PSSSSTTTT..............Take his job. Seriously...........if it bugs you that bad. Chronical all his bullshit mistakes. Type them up in a nice Memorandum for Record to his boss. Make sure to stick to facts, leave out the "And his a dumbass too", and show plenty of financial impact to the company. IE.......Man hours, materials wasted, etc. One of three things will happen. Your boss will get fired and they'll give you his job, your boss will be pissed and fire you, or he'll be pissed and you'll be in an extremely hostile work place. Feel like gambling?
