Frustrated by Idiot Managers?

[rabid1st]

As my brother once put it, "There is no evolutionary advantage to being intelligent...you can tell because most people default to doing what they already know how to do." He went on to point out that intelligent people think about having children and often choose not to, but people who don't think about costs, schooling and the pressures of breeding, just get on with breeding. So, intelligent genes are quickly outnumbered in the gene pool.

Here are some more smart people being all...useless...with their studies and stuff...

What a great article for the FINANCE section, read, no doubt, by a lot of middle managers who need new ideas.

And, boy, I can tell you that being a problem solver for an organization just gets you headaches and lots of work and no respect. No matter how often you bail your idiot boss out of trouble, he will never truly appreciate it. Because, that's not his type of thought processing. He will think it is a magic trick...and you are a nice person, that he wants to keep nearby and use more often to help him out of trouble.

perhaps a little bitter about meetings full of squabbling, and bosses who never see the train heading for them, despite all the flashing warning signs. Since I'm retired, I should probably just let it go. LOL

I am with you in that instance! The little girl should not have been left alone by her mother or the library management. If something were to have happened to the little girl, I tend to think both parties would be equally responsible in a court of law. One is reckless and irresponsible and the other is morally obligated in the situation. Right or wrong, that's how I see it.

As a mother, I would NEVER leave my child alone ANYWHERE to go do ANYTHING without making arrangements with SOMEONE to watch her! Call me old fashioned but I feel parents should parent their children instead of putting the public in a precarious and morally debatable situation.

My two cents. :)
