Who Would You Rather Have as a Boss?

[faftorial]

Give your reasons.

[faftorial]

MIMH is for a four day work week and doesn't demand that you get on webcam daily.

I voted MIMH.

[dodint]

I much as I would enjoy my boss completely ignoring c-suite directives I had to go with meow.

[willeyeam]

Weenies company would be out of business in less than 90 days so it would be fun while it lasted but I don't feel like looking for another job

[faftorial]

Polotiking by the candidates is allowed as votes can be changed.

[mikey]

I don't take orders from people stupider than me...

[dodint]

Yeah but with MiMH you can just tell him no.

[mikey]

Honestly, I think meow and I would work very well together...no slight to mimh...

The added bonus with meow is that he doesn't have a logo on his chest that appears to be like...I don't know...for a brand of dog food that's only meant for dogs battling a percocet addiction or something...

It's just the amount of opportunities where you can prevent that type of thing are immense...and if there's one thing I like in a co-worker, it's someone that doesn't compound problems...

Easiest poll ever.
Meow

[dodint]

I am surprised it's this close.

meow is the sound of yesterday.

Meow does seem to have a contempt for his coworkers, while mimh is just baffled when people are normal.

I think my question would be, does meow use the thread as his outlet, or does that contempt spill over?

[count2infinity]

I'll take contempt for being an idiot any day of the week. I fully recognize when I'm being an idiot. I won't accept contempt for just being a normal, everyday person.

1. This thread is stupid

2. I love my co-workers that are not idiots.

3. Put yourself in my shoes. I have anywhere from 12-16 meetings A DAY with between 5 and 20 people each. That’s a lot of opportunities for morons to present themselves. If you’re going to be a moron, do it quietly, please.

1. Agreed

2. That's a subjective standard

3. I have lots of thoughts on this. Client I am currently on a loan staff job for a big company working with their controls team, I have to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to work with folks that get put on 9 hours of meetings everyday. There are times where I need them to confirm approach or approve something, but other times I just need information. I am mostly just baffled how operations executives seem incapable of effectively delegating. I think I'd like to see calendar management become more of a skill. (not saying this is at all related to your situation, but I see it a lot for the clients I work with - banks)

you want meow to learn a whole new skill?

I think Meow's organization needs to recognize that making Meow sit on 9 hours of meetings all day makes him resentful.

I don't know if it's the organizer in most cases or not. I know that I try to put as much detail in the agenda as I can so the recipient know what we're trying to accomplish and whether the meeting can be forwarded....But dunno, is probably just a culture thing. I just know my inbox is always extremely active around 9pm most nights because thats when the conference call class is actually able to read and respond to things.

[NAN]

I voted meow. Seems to have a good sense of when to be serious and push, but also when to be lienent and have fun.

[Morkle]

Meow is the clear choice.

I don’t have an issue with being in meetings all day. That’s not the problem. My problem is stupid people in positions they shouldn’t be in. We all know this happens. I call a spade a spade when someone got over-promoted to point they are a detriment to org.

Does that mean you call yourself out as well in that case?

Looks like the people haves spoken and you win @meow.

Well no duh. One of us is a fully functional adult and the other one should carry a house plant everywhere to replace the oxygen he wastes
