    If there’s one thing that’s connected with success in a management role, it is blind cockeyed optimism combined with ignorance of the issues involved and a preference for simple one-sentence solutions. Literally never seen it go wrong, in government or war or business or anything else.

      By “everyone else leave and it will solve itself” she means “Russia will conquer Ukraine and my paymaster Putin will be happy.”

      As a manager who regularly has to clean up other manger’s bullshit because of exactly that… I fucking hate other managers. Especially “project” managers.

      A close second is the bean counters that keep sending me “recommendations” to fuck over our employees to save a buck to become more profitable, despite the fact that our branch (and specifically my accounts) are the most profitable nationally. (yes, even compared to accounts that take that advice…)
