The PQRSTUV of Bad Management

Bad management has a name.

Let us call it as PQRSTUV.


P stands for someone who would just piss you off and someone who is a silent conspirator with a deeply flawed Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde character.

Q stands for something about the company which would constantly quiz you.

R stands for someone who is sick and slimy and is, at the core, really a piece of stinking shit.

S stands for something about the company which would constantly shudder you.

T stands for someone who is stupid and silly like an ass and is a dog-like slave to his wily masters.

U stands for something about the company which would constantly upset you.

V stands for someone conceited and full of false pride and the wrong impression about being great when one is not even good.

The PQRSTUV of bad management is a sad reality in the small-sized, coterie-driven, lala-type companies.

These companies are managed by an old boys club and the PQRSTUV is really about those in the old boys club and about their attitudes and actions.

When you work in such a sick company some thoughts will quite often cross your mind.

How with presence of the PQRSTUV of bad management this company is still there?

How with such people at the helm this company is still around?

Perhaps, the eight wonder of the world.

Or rather the first wonder of the corporate world!
