Annoying Boss

One of the things I find most annoying beside littering, second-hand-smoke & programmer-wannabe
are the people known as “know-it-all-project-manager” .

My Top Four Most Annoying Project Managers

1.Mr.ColorCoding
->The fact that his resume is 5 pages long,he’s full of sh!t.
->He doesnt know the contrasting stuff between “.ini” and “.exe” file
->He always have a lifestory to tell from non-fiction to fiction blah-blah
->Syntax Highlighting are used by real-programmers
the term colorcoding is exclusive for Mr.ColorCoding.

*Syntax highlighting is a feature of some text editors that displays
text—especially source code—in different colors and fonts according to the category of terms.(excerpt from wiki)

2.Ms.Colspan
->She doesn’t know what a loop construct is(for and while)

3.Mr.Html
->He doesn’t know how to code. enough said.

4.Mr.Shrek
->He is a good programmer but then his managing style is equivalent to zero less than the planck length (Lol) therefore this guy is a total-douchebag .
->He smellslikeshit!Lol
->A very nasty and barbaric boss, tend to shouts at people.

5.Mr.Shout
->Talk shit lame-ass-wipe-boss
->He is the tarzan to luciano pavarroti , need I say more?
->very close to Mr.Colorcoding


The Leadership Test: Are You a Bad Boss?
By Jessica Groach
Learning & Life Columnist
A 2001 Gallup poll says the #1 reason people leave their jobs is bad
bosses.
Are you one of them?

Leadership Test
Test your leadership style by answering these questions as honestly as
possible:
1.. Have you ever criticized an employee in public?
2.. Do you ever take credit for employees’ work?
3.. Do you subconsciously reward your favorite employees, or punish your least favorites?
4.. Are you hesitant to relinquish projects to your employees?
5.. Do you constantly check their work for quality?
6.. Do you expect your employees to do what they’re asked, without question?
7.. Are your employees afraid of you?
8.. Do you communicate with your staff through e-mail?
9.. Do you avoid knowing your employees personally?
10.. Are you hesitant to ask for feedback from your staff?
If you’ve answered “yes” to any of these questions, we hate to break it to you, but you might be a bad boss.Become a Better Leader As Theodore Roosevelt once said of leadership, “The leader works in theopen, and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives.” Your leadership style may need some work, but leadership isn’t born, it’s made. Today, many management programs and professional associations offer leadership courses that help managers become good leaders, and good coaches.

Leadership courses help managers to develop good communication skills, so that they can effectively communicate their vision, mission, and expectations to their staffs. Programs like these instruct participants in improving listening skills, resolving disciplinary and performance issues, accepting criticism, public speaking, acknowledging and rewarding good work, delegating tasks, and building successful teams.So step out of the driver’s seat and start leading. Your team just might follow you.
