T-Rod - II

If you missed the T-Rod introduction, be sure to read “Introducing T-Rod.”   Unfortunately for me, I’m still working with this guy.  On the flip side, fortunately for you I’m still working with this guy and post pretty much just write themselves.

On Friday, we were in the middle of a highly visible activity, meaning that all of the flunktional managers took time away from surfing the web to witness some stuff going on.  T-Rod was in charge, and running the room like in true T-Rod style.
  
At a moment of heavy activity, a new hire (one of the only good new hires I’ve seen in over 7 years at the Shitshohw), and a customer representative were asking T-Rod some questions about what was going on.  The added stress of a couple of questions sent T-Rod over the top, and in a moment of management clarity he channeled none other than King Kong.  In his mini melt down moment he yelled at the new hire and customer “I don’t have time for you right now, go stand in the corner until I tell you to come out.”

That’s right, T-Rod told a new hire and customer to go stand in the corner.  All of the flunktional managers in the room at the time choose to ignore the situation and looked the other way. 

Because full grown professionals are treated like 4 year olds, I throw rocks.
