Man: Bob the supervisor is taking a week's vacation. So he's bringing in a temporary supervisor. Woman: Thank goodness without supervision, we'd just wander around like purposeless, directionless, headless drones, incapable of intelligent thought. Man: So business as usual? Woman: Pretty much.

In a former job there was a supervisor that spent the majority of his time strolling the cubicle aisles looking for anyone on the internet instead of working (this was years before smartphones came out). We called him The Shark. Anytime he was absent, oddly enough, our production levels would increase a bit. I’ve since learned that micromanagers tend to lower productivity with their style rather than increase it as they intend.
