You would think that this lesson would be apparent to these people of high intelligence and motivations (?) ….. You might think that they would be most concerned about the time spent away from employees . Yet it seems their biggest preoccupations seem to be proving to their staff the golden rule – that is alternatively “those that have the gold rule ” or “the rules are golden and they are My Rules”.

It might be said “Who Cares ?” or ” Little things for little minds”
Yet these types persist – into the gates of insanity or at least abject foolishness or foolhardiness.
Worse yet its a case of monkey see , monkey do as they follow the example and examples of long gone or long dead managers who preceded them.

What a bunch of stupid people and downright morons !

- Do summarize the policy upfront

- Use the subject line to subject between the new or revised policy and an already established one.  Without such a subject-line  clue ( or lack of clues – a clueless alcoholic stupor itself a commundrum ) ,  the reader or poor victim  often skips ( or cannot even be bothered to even open the envelope), thinking that he , she or it  is already more than informed  about the stated ( or unstated) policy or policies

It can be said and summarized – what a waste of time , who needs it and you would be better off to have stayed home in bed rather than be subjected to just foolishness and downright waste of time.

Yet it all goes under the guise of  “Management “  and “Management Prerogative”

What to do ?  The first answer is to be polite and perhaps even deferential.  After all the person may have a better reason for being there – that is often than a case of “management on the brain” or hero worship. Perhaps they are supporting their sick mother or dog , and they need the money to support the family or these “causes”.

All in all , its best to be quiet . Polite   Get the interview over quickly. Leave.  Never think about such foolish and stupid things again.

Always remember the parable of “Chicken little”

- Joanna, Portsmouth, N.H.

Dear Joanna: Not quite.

“Sending out résumés is not legally the same as saying, ‘I quit,’” says Stephen Sonnenberg, an employment lawyer at Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker in New York City. Yet an employee who reveals that she is job hunting “has surely opened the door to a talk,” he adds. “You have a right to ask whether she plans to leave and, if so, when.”

You don’t say you have cause to fire her, but it’s fine to call her bluff.

Often employers tiptoe around problem employees because of vague fears of violating the Americans With Disabilities Act (which protects workers with mental illnesses). A staffer may be emotionally unstable or paranoid, but unless she’s been diagnosed with a mental disability, the ADA doesn’t apply. And, says Sonnenberg, you have a right to set employee rules – such as no calls at home after 7 P.M. unless the office is ablaze – as long as you apply them consistently.

In cases where workers have been let go for being unruly, hostile, or simply awful to work with, Sonnenberg notes, “the courts have held that employers need not tolerate misconduct on the job. Personality traits, such as an inability to work with others, are unprotected by law.”

1. Faye & Ray Copeland

When I retire, I look forward to traveling, spending a lot of time volunteering at a no-kill animal shelter, writing… the usual stuff. Faye and Ray Copeland, however, decided that when they retired they would become serial killers. From 1986 to 1989, the elderly couple hired workers to help them around their farm in Missouri. After being tipped off by a former neighbor, police searched the farm and found five bodies buried. Faye insisted she was innocent, but evidence against her included a list in her handwriting of farmhands hired – 12 of them had X’s scrawled next to their names. Of those 12, five of them were found dead. Police also found a cozy quilt inside the house made of the clothing of the men the Copelands had killed. Ray and Faye were the oldest couple ever sentenced to death in the United States at the ages of 75 and 69 respectively.

2. Elizabeth Báthory

No matter how good the pay was at Elizabeth Báthory’s castles, it wasn’t worth it: the Hungarian countess killed hundreds of girls and women, many who were employed as maids and servants on her property. She didn’t just kill her victims, oh no. She tortured them first. During her trials, it was discovered that the methods she used to kill included starving, freezing, beating, burning and biting. Oddly, though, she was never sentenced to death. Her accomplices were, but Elizabeth was merely bricked up inside of a room at her house for the rest of her life. A small slit was left open so she could receive food. She was put under house arrest at the end of 1610; she died in August of 1614.

3. Rolandas Milinavicius

After reading this you might think twice about asking for a raise this year. In July 2007, a Georgia business owner shot and killed his only two employees when they asked for a little more compensation on their paychecks. Rolandas Milinavicius told police that he was stressed out because the business was accruing a lot of debt and the talk about raises just pushed him over the edge. I would assume that legal fees and not having an income at all due to being in prison would probably hamper his finances more than anything else he could have done. I could be wrong though; I’ve never owned a business.

4. Henry Clay Frick

Back in 1892, Henry Clay Frick was not a boss you wanted to cross. Frick and his business partner Andrew Carnegie ended their working relationship when Frick reacted a little… rashly… to the Homestead Steel Strike. In 1892, a labor strike impacted the Homestead Works of the Carnegie Steel Company. Frick was staunchly anti-union and thought he would thwart picketing workers by having Pinkerton agents access the grounds via the river. When the agents got close enough, they fired into the crowd which was enough to start a full-blown riot. By the time the chaos was broken up by the state militia, several men were killed and many were wounded. Thanks, boss.

5. Henry VIII

It’s common knowledge that Henry VIII had no qualms with having people close to him killed – wives, employees, friends, contemporaries, whatever. He had Sir Thomas More beheaded when More dared to disagree with King Henry’s religious ideas. Prior to his death, More had served as Henry’s Lord Chancellor. Another employee was the king’s minister, Thomas Cromwell. He supported Henry when he was tired of Anne Boleyn and wanted to marry Jane Seymour. Jane died soon after childbirth and Cromwell quickly urged Henry to marry Anne of Cleves. The marriage was a disaster. Cromwell divorced them, but being of no further used to Henry, he was sentenced to death for treason. The young executioner hacked at Cromwell’s head three times before he finally succeeded in beheading him. After that, Cromwell’s head was boiled and place on a spike on London Bridge.

6. Leona Helmsley

Obviously real estate mogul Leona Helmsley would have been pretty horrifying to work for – she wasn’t called the Queen of Mean for nothing. Stories of her ruthlessness abound. Lawyer Alan Dershowitz said he once had breakfast with Leona at one of the Helmsley hotels and the waiter brought him a cup of tea with a tiny bit of water spilled on the saucer. Alan says Leona grabbed the cup from him and smashed it on the floor, then demanded that the waiter get down on his hands and knees and beg for his job. Some stories claimed she would fire maids on the spot if she found so much as a crooked lampshade in a hotel room. One maid, when working through lunch, snagged an apple from the kitchen to quell her hunger. Of course, Leona fired her.

See, your job really isn’t that bad. Or is it? What are your bad boss horror stories?

Seinfeld is represented by Irving Bizar of Ballon Stoll Bader & Nadler in Manhattan. Bizar declined to comment on the decision or on whether his client plans to appeal.

“This case has a long procedural history,” Cote wrote in Seinfeld v. WorldCom, 06 Civ. 13274. “Since 2002, Seinfeld has attempted to bring a shareholder derivative action against various former directors and officers of WorldCom … and WorldCom’s bank, Bank of America, alleging state law claims of breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, and waste.”
