For you J-Landers out there, who like me, are still part of the daily grind, here is a link to a video on bad management - Disconfirmation. I plan on doing some of these periodically to bring you a bit of humor. Sometimes, knowing what not to do is just as important as doing the right thing :o)
Disconfirmation: Face-to-face interaction of executives with their employee subordinates is an unfortunate necessity in most organizations. However distasteful, such exchanges do provide fertile opportunities for the seeding of Radical Demotivation™ in the employee psyche. In this segment, Dr. E.L. Kersten explains one of several disconfirmational communication tactics which can be helpful in disabusing employees of their narcissistic delusions of parity.

I loved it! So warped! I have the boss from hell and it would not surprise me if she pulled out hand sanitizer! She recently was discussing her $400 jeans with members of the staff that make $12 an hour acting as though it was to be expected that you HAD to pay that amount to get jeans that truly fit.

Ha ha! Also LOL at Donna's comment! I think we've all had a Boss From Hell at some point in our lives, and it's fun to share "war stories."
