I got some hot-shot VP that just stopped by while I was working on a new app.

Apparently, according to him, everything I've been doing for the past three months is going to get thrown out so I can work on HIS darling new project (that he's just cooked up with the CEO over lunch).

I hope this guy gets hit by a bus soon before he has another "epiphany."

(sigh)

I used to feel that way when I was an employee. Either you would be told to work UNPAID overtime on an essential project, just to complete it and have it shelved. Or they would re-prioritize your work and want you to work OT to fix mis-spelled report headings.

My fav though was when they went against my recommendation and did something incorrectly. I worked OT to complete the stupid idea. Then, I worked OT to redo it in the manner that I originally designed.

All the free unpaid OT that I could want and, all the while, the company bills the OT to the customer. (how do you think they pay for your "benefits"?)

I'm a contractor now. Stupid is cash in my pocket. "You don't want to do it my way? Superrrrr. I'll get right on it." "OT? No problem." "Oh...you paid me to do it with the incorrect design that I warned you about and now you want to pay me to do it right this time? OT? No problem."

Stupid is my cash cow, baby!

It's an interesting phenomenon that the more stupid the decision-maker, the higher they get promoted, and more incompetence earns them more responsibilities. And when combined with being a backstabbing cheap ass weasel, these traits give them the express elevator to the executive toilet.

I'm sending a that Hummer over.

My other ride is the relative wind.

Watch out! Happened to me several times on my last job. After about the sixth time, the boss that kept changing my projects gave me a bad review for being too slow and not finishing my jobs. I told him if he would stop giving me 8-12 week projects and canceling them after the first week, I might stand a chance of finishing one.

I also gave him my letter of resignation 20 minutes after that discussion. I work for myself now.

Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

There are two easy ways to get rid of losers in a large corporate environment. One, give them the idea that they need to move elsewhere in the company...soon. Then give them a glowing recommendation. Off they go. Second way, create a "quality assurance" group to support ISO 9000. People with no technical or management skills can be placed in it. It is a safe environment where they will cause no damage other than adding to the paperwork.

I'm thinking that the vacuum cleaner demos will pale by comparison.

At first thought yes......you and a butt candle. Then I got to the "It makes you poop" part and the fantasy was kinda ruined.

As much as i would love to continue the butt candle discussion, i'm gonna do something i haven't done for a few weeks now. I'm actually gonna do some work!! Have no fear, i'll be back on later.

It's called "The Dilbert principle". The least competent people get promoted to the position where they can do the least damage: The management.
