There are four kinds of employees: (1) incompetent and lazy; (2) competent and lazy; (3) incompetent and energetic; and (4) competent and energetic. The first is tolerable if you can't get someone else. The second okay. The third is the worst and you should get rid of them even if they are they only employee you have. The last is golden.----My stepfather.

Same can be said for owners. I hate dictators who think your job is to be their tool. I hate testosterone. I work well with people who communicate and see you as equal even when above you. You can accept someone's position but that does not give them the right to treat you like a mere tool. I have had great bosses and dicks who simply like throwing their weight around. I have other dick bosses who are slick about how they manipulate you faking caring in front of everyone.

The worst bosses I have ever had are sociopaths. The best bosses that you go to bat for are the ones who know you are the reason they do well.

Long time ago I heard a joke told by a German about Americans and British:

An American sees a guy drive by in a Ferrari and says man I'm going to have a car like that some day.

A Brit sees the same car go by and says someday that SOB is going to have to ride the bus just like me.

I don't know how well that describes the British or every American for that matter. But it's how I see you. Does it ever cross you mind that someday you might be a boss? Because you missed the rather funny point which is that active incompetence is the most damaging possibility. That would go for bosses too.

Let me correct that for you "Male homophobes are assholes".

It might not have occurred to you that sexual preference has nothing to do with musical taste.

Straight guys love Queen and Freddy was bi. Straight guys loved Elton John until he came out as gay. I had one co worker a long time ago claim George Micheal was straight.

Point being no one should give one fuck what you think about musical taste and it most certainly has NOTHING to do with orientation.

This guy has had a dick in his mouth. The only difference between homophobes and the sane world, is I don't care. His sex life had nothing to do with lack of consent nor did it change his ability to create awesome music.

Don't know. I only know, we had this on one of our signs when demonstrating against stationing new nukes in Europe in the early 80ies.

Ah, yes - pre-teen schoolyard insults. How very grown-up of you.

What's next? A wedgie? Run his pants up the flagpole?
