Crazy People Shouldn’t Burn Bridges

2010 January 17

If you are so insane that your average employee only stays with you for about three months, it may be a good idea not to piss off the one person who’s been with the company for over three years. Unfortunately, insane people tend to not think about their craziness or logical ideas.

It shouldn’t be surprising then, that Michael blamed the employee who has been here longer than anyone else for a mistake that was not only entirely the client’s fault, but also happened when she wasn’t even here. After three years of dealing with a boss who considered moving the company to Tijuana until he decided it was too dirty, she finally was fed up with his insanity and quit.

After three years of dealing with Michael, Jan was (not surprisingly) pretty much the only person in the office who could kind of keep his crazy in check. Unfortunately, she’s gone now and the company’s prospect of one day becoming something other than a living hell have dropped dramatically.

    Uh-oh. If she was the only source of the bit of sanity that exists in the office, I suspect there will be many more blog posts coming up.

    And even though you say this is true, I still have a hard time believing basically all of the stupidity that you tell us about. I like to think that people aren’t quite this stupid and lacking common sense, but you prove me otherwise.

    OMG do you guys have spy cams where I work!?? LOL..this blog really makes my day…as I too work for a Michael Scott.

    And Jennifer believe me….unless you work for a Michael these things do sound like their made up, but he does exist in this world…I had a Dwight and still have Michael in my office and crazier things have happened. Stupidity exists!
