A woman who has a questionable possible high school education was recently made a manager in an international company because she warmed a chair for 10 years. The most we can figure out is she was a hostess in a restaurant at some point because that is where she spends her expense account. It goes to show you learning software can pay off. She was made manager of large sums of cash and four employees with college degrees. She is rude to the point of being a sadist and has an expertise for set-ups designed to discredit her co-workers. She talks in some street lingo impossible to understand and then says you will have a communication problem. Severe mood swings from crying and walking around displaying her smeared mascara to mania are frequent and socializing 90% of the day and then saying "poor little me" because she has to stay after hours to get "work" completed. She sits on the pitty pot most of the day. You can't ask for advice or projects because this woman doesn't have the expertise in the field to give any legitimate advice. She is sarcastic and goofy in her solutions to problems. And you think you've had a bad day, try having to look forward to this idiot every day.

The Art of Chair Warming...hilarious! Sadly, I think this is more the norm than the exception.

Apparently, it IS the rule. God. This is pathetic. I thought that maybe I was just observing the worst case scenarios, I was so hopeful that most woment were being promoted on the basis of their intelligence and merits. This is making me so depressed. What chance does a smart and educated woman have who refuses to play the "sex" game? (This woman defintely warmed more than a chair for 10 years...)

Seems to me that only the crazy, incompetent, bi-polar, manic, or O.C.D. people make it to the top. Kinda weird, huh?

That thas actually been my observation after 20 years as a "corporate slave". I hoped I was wrong, I was actually trying to assess what it was about ME that caused these people to act out. Now, I realize, it is not me, it IS them. But why they are getting promoted is beyond me. Is it some kind of animalistic, tribal thing, where they are feared, yet worshiped?

Thank you for the reality check on my perceptions. It seems the more bipolar you are the more chance you have of promotion. I think this is called 'ability to handle change', when really these people just summon their other personalities. I think it is because these people have the ability to alter perceptions that the goofy people who promoted them feel right at home, so therefore, a normal, educated, articulate person never makes their full potential. I agree that she was warming more than a chair for 10 years.

I wondered if I was stretching it with that comment-but I just had a feeling. *SIGH*

There are probably 50 people out there who think this story is about them. That is what makes this site so funny!
