Management by email….

Is he bigger than you?

My dad always says that when you have a piece of 2 by 4 in your hand, everyone is the same size....

Whenever you receive an email from him, print it out and go & see him, saying you want him to talk through what he is asking. Never reply by email, then he will be forced to spend more time writing up what's been said.

i like this idea.

Better still, I will wait for a week, claim not time to read the rest of his ramblings and only book out an hour allocating the rest of the day for proper work.

Even better, I am in at 7am, so, will make myself available from 7-8 am, and see how badly he still wants a chat.

The email sign-up is very tempting though - only got clientco email though, not his personal one, or I would do this for sure.

Every time he sends an email, give him an update on your current car troubles.

Offer to make him a cup of coffee. Add a megadose of laxatives. Hey presto. Boss on the toilet all day with his trousers around his ankles wondering why the world has just fallen out of his bottom. Him away from desk. No time to write long useless emails.

But wait..does he have a Blackberry? Better still chop his fingers off one by one.

No fingers = no typing = no emails.

But what about his nose........hmmm.

Better yet. Just shoot him (or leave).

HTH

This is probaly the reason he deals with Wilmslow by email?

Everyone else is in on the gag and they get along just fine with him

We're assuming he's located with you. His office isn't a tent half-way up Ben Nevis is it?

He is the other side of the drinks machine, around 20 yards away......

Every time I am past his desk he is bashing away at Outlook......

Got a release manager with zero people skills and a zany look in his eyes

Is that relative to you?
