    - refuses to purchase tools that would make job easier

    - plans huge upgrade of client devices first thing Monday morning rather than Friday evening

    - licenses one of the least effective security tools to save money

    - forces an over-reliance on Google apps despite Drive having shit search capabilities

    - makes you get A+ certified even though you’ve been in the industry for many years before allowing pursuit of higher certs

    - says “happy Monday” every week as if that isn’t soul-draining

    - thinks we have a great culture because we declare “beer o’clock” on a Friday every few months and end early

    - talks loudly in an open office when he take phone calls

    - plays shitty music when he gets control of the stereo hooked to an old computer

    - mandates back to office as the pan is winding down and then let’s all of management not come to the office on the first day back

    - can’t understand why this angered workers

      It manages that plans upgrades on Monday are a godsend unless you like working OT while having access to b-team vendor support.

        My first thought when reading the OP was “Who the hell touches anything on a Friday evening? That sounds like a good way to end up working the entire weekend.”

        Friday upgrade: A handful of people call with problems on Monday morning.

        Monday upgrade: Everyone is angry that they can’t meet deadlines (the install started when they turned on their computers).

        I should have mentioned that I’m thinking of two industries with hard deadlines.

          You’re on the wrong side of this one. There’s literally a “No Change Friday” mantra

            Then change it on any day of the week other than Monday morning or Friday evening.

          Yeah but everyone’s angry while I’m working the hours I wanted to work. Their poor planning is not my emergency.

        It would be like a construction company replacing a team of carpenters with some people who took a weekend woodworking course.

        It takes a special kind of clueless to think they would be remotely equivalent.

      That one’s my least favorite. Might as well just grab me by the shoulders and shout your conversation in my face for how little work I’m getting done.
