I find it refreshing , he actually listened to learn for 20 minutes. Most of my Co- workers think they know it all.
Yep I believe enough complaints about our ex plant manager got him fired for nepotism.
Hahaha yep, I've seen plenty of nepotism for a job! Or unqualified friends in management positions and haven't a clue. Works our sooo well in an organization!
I had to explain to a senior manager who makes 3 times more than I do that Africa is not a country and the country we work with is part of the African continent. That was fun. 🙃 She is good friends with the big boss.
He’ll either soar on his own merit or stumble from his shortcomings. Either way, keep doing the stellar work you do and let the results sort themselves out. They always do, though not always on our ideal timeline. At least it makes for some interesting office conversations. I bet no other office within 1,000 miles had a 20-minute chat about Columbus’s travels! 😂👍🏼
this is today comedy
Well. Mystery solved. Hopefully he will be able to do well in the business. Some people may not know their history but are really quickly studies about the business.
Sounds like you all are saying he’s dumb for not agreeing with you. I bet you creat an excellent culture within your insular marketing department
Stop these emails
I wouldn't call him "dumber than a shoe". I'd say he's "dumber than a box of rocks". I wish you the best but I have no advice to give in this situation that would really help.
Perhaps maybe write an anonymous letter to management? But if he's the CEO's brother-in-law it probably won't work to change the situation no matter how hard you try.
Just curious...what difference does it make if it's a shoe or rocks?????
I guess you don’t love nepo babies . But who really cares if Columbus came on the Mayflower or not. They also claimed America was discovered by him. How do you discover a territory that already has inhabitants? Duh?
Lol sadly nepo babies or best friends of managers that can be lazier and slower than injured snail and dumber, more discriminatory & racist than Nigel Far… and they still will have a job. Competent and hard working people with 5mg of brain are always going to be discriminated against.
Funny, my first question would of been why did we spend 20 minutes on attempting to explain? I learned from my mentor that trying to explain something so basic to an individual is a waste of your own mental capacity and time.
