Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for February 13, 2014

I nominate Dana as Rita’s new boss!

Nope, they are both victims of the glass ceiling.

Promote Melvin, he is useless where is is and would be useless as a manager.

Or pull a name from the pastTom Corbett : is the main character in a series of Tom Corbett — Space Cadet a kids series I read when very young. Than you can make space cadet jokes and keep Roy happy. (if he is old enough to remember)

NO names to suggest, but How’s About . . .

He turns out to be both competent AND aware of what’s going around himself. An “On the Ball” Boss would challenge Rita in all KINDS of ways that she’s not used to!

Clark, how about Obama ?

Norma Olive Theodora Bright. aka Ms N.O.T. Bright.

I think Bill Clinton is free these days…

don’t remember her name or if she was actually given one, but Rita’s mom would be a good one. Someone Rita could not fool. If I remember when she came to visit she was rough on Rita and I thought for a while that it would be “blind Justice” if she turned out to be the owner of the company and Rita had a “family” job.

You could have a slowing-moving Hispanic boss show up, and his name would be….wait for it……wait for it……

Joaquin Slowly (walkin’ slowly)

I suggest… I. M. Breathin. (I am breathing…)

Maybe Jerry Attrick?

Possibly Ima Idjitt?

Or even Hugh Rang.

Harold Saxon (the last version of the Master, in Doctor Who shows)

Pointy Haired boss’ brother?

I’m sure this won’t go, but for woman’s boss, I think “Buster Stones” would work. :-D

I have seen (and worked for) many companies both poorly run and well run. The best was the last place I worked in Illinois (Grumman-Butkus) and is doing well in all economy (and said they’d take me back if I moved back there) but I moved because of the weather and one of the absolute WORST was a company that seemed rather similar (at first sight) but GBA had my attention before the 9+ years I worked there (for winning various industry awards while I was in ASHRAE) and so, when I left Zenith (which NEVER had good management) I chose GBA and would still be there if I had not wanted the lovely warmth and sunshine of Arizona.

@Night-Gaunt49… I bow to your perfection.

Louie Cifier. Say it real fast a few times

all names are real. Its just how they are put together that we recognize them as belonging to others.

Another literary reference: “Tom Swift,” she wrote. …. Think of the fun when management generates another less than intelligent policy. ;)
