LOL

Yeah, I hear ya.

I briefly sold personal computers. The store manager was a fired air traffic controller who didn't know squat about sales or retail. His buddy, Rich Murray, who was also a fired ATC, was the area manager and got him the job. Rich didn't know squat about sales or retail, either. Apparently, I pissed off Ron (the store manager) one too many times by trying to tell him how to run a retail store (I had several years of experience and great sales training). In an employee evaluation session, Rich told me that I would never be a store manager, 'cause they didn't like me and I was pissing them off. The company is now out of business. But, one of my customers had hired me away from them to teach computer classes. Hey, I can't save everyone!

My inability to deal with "superiors" in a successful manner is partly why I haven't had a job in 30 (that's 30, with a "3") years.
