When Your Job Is Killing You Slowly
The Ballad of Crazypants
- Crazypants refuses to pay for services the business needs.
- Crazypants makes unilateral decisions without consulting the team she’s hired to execute those decisions, who know more about the day-to-day running of the business than Crazypants does.
- Crazypants likes to take rapid freak turns off the project highway, such as demanding my friend choose a new mailing list service the night before sending out a newsletter.
- Crazypants takes advantage of her employees’ desire to do good work in order to get away with chaotic management (at best!).
- Crazypants takes credit for her employees’ ideas — not only to clients and other outsiders, but even inside the company.
- Crazypants does her damnedest to control and intimidate her employees.
