He also, being as English is not his first language, uses very obscure sentence constructs: "I would look into this aspects, be implementing set piece today afternoon."

In short: He is so window-lickingly insane that he should be banned from handling anything other than crayons.

That cover it VF?

(Oh yeah, and he is nominally my supervisor. Except nobody respects that relationship - event ClientCo BigBoss. Rumour of non-renewal was overheard yesterday but I doubt this!)

I've come across fools like that. I usually tell them to keep away from me as I only deal with BigBoss!

Roughly my approach. ClientCo Permies have no time for him either now - and I think BigBoss is getting frustrated too!
