- refuses to purchase tools that would make job easier

- plans huge upgrade of client devices first thing Monday morning rather than Friday evening

- licenses one of the least effective security tools to save money

- forces an over-reliance on Google apps despite Drive having shit search capabilities

- makes you get A+ certified even though you’ve been in the industry for many years before allowing pursuit of higher certs

- says “happy Monday” every week as if that isn’t soul-draining

- thinks we have a great culture because we declare “beer o’clock” on a Friday every few months and end early

- talks loudly in an open office when he take phone calls

- plays shitty music when he gets control of the stereo hooked to an old computer

- mandates back to office as the pan is winding down and then let’s all of management not come to the office on the first day back

- can’t understand why this angered workers

Bro, I worked for a company that literally offered us and non-technical staff a coding boot camp. I asked if I could be promoted if I did the boot camp since they were offering it to people a level above me. I already knew everything in the boot camp, as did everyone I worked with. They refused. But, then they also laid my team and I off a month later and some how kept all the people that did the boot camp. It made no damn sense. It’s like the higher ups had no idea what a boot camp was, but thought it would be cutting edge and innovative if it was offered. They were clueless. Meanwhile, they cut everyone with those skills.

It manages that plans upgrades on Monday are a godsend unless you like working OT while having access to b-team vendor support.

My first thought when reading the OP was "Who the hell touches anything on a Friday evening? That sounds like a good way to end up working the entire weekend."
