Micro Management & Why People Shoot Their Co-Workers


There is something to be said for constructive criticism. To offer an observation followed by an opinion and even-handed advice. However, most people in management, feel the need to do what I like to call "unnecessary forced rephrasing"... Example:


"Hey I noticed the paper for the color copier is out."


"Yes, our order was pushed back so it won't be here until Thursday."


"Oh, well we want to make sure and keep that copier full."


"Yes. Basically because of the order delay we've run out."


"Well in the future, we have to prevent that from happening."


"WITH WHAT YOU FUCKING MORON....MY FUTURE BACKORDER CLAIRVOYANCE?? AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHEN THE OFFICE SUPPLY FUCKS OF AMERICA ARE GOING TO STIFF ME ON AN ORDER JUST SO YOU CAN AVOID GOING TO KINKOS TO PRINT OUT YOUR GOD DAMN OLIVE GARDEN COUPONS????!!!"


Honest and logic is frown upon in the administrative field.


"Ok, I'll make sure and do that, sir."
