You did it again, you upset the Bra burners. You should have made 80% of the examples female.

Very good on the whole, although it seemed a trifle over-elaborate in places

Are you suggesting that 80% of crap bosses are female?

Read the first 6 paragraphs and have had about as much of the patronising drivel as I can stand, this side of dinner anyways.

Will see if some shepherds pie will give me the strength to continue on.

Nope, sorry. Too heavy for me. Is there a cardboard version with lift up flaps.

no actually not, had some good female colleagues who are managers. They tend to be more in touch emotionally with their staff.

Well for start Simon Travaglia will be spinning in his server room that you appropriated the BOFH tag for this.

None of the behaviours you describe are related to working in IT in anyway. Bad bosses are bad bosses full stop, regardless of the business you are in. All you did was give some new names to the archetypes that have been doing the rounds for years and chuck in a few tech references to sell it as relevant for The Reg.

Mines the one with the modified up cattle prod in the pocket, and a role of carpet and shovel in the boot.
