20+ years doing the job and he comes along and tells me how to do it.
That was so true of the managers at the Indian bank where I worked. In their previous life they were based in an entirely different dept to the one they came over to manage in London, so basically didn’t have a clue. One in particular would sit at his desk, one hand holding his head up, staring out at the open plan office (which prompted comments from my colleagues). This same manager once accused me of not being proactive. NO-ONE was more proactive than me, I can assure you.

I worked along side a manager who controlled stuff from a five metre radius of the Coffee Machine in the rest area, he claimed he had his "Ear to the Ground".

Maybe he did, he went on to far better things.

It annoys me that there is hardly a whisper about it on the BBC news, I wonder why?
