German Manager Idiot

[NoGo 4]

Met another of our wonderful managers (50s, suit, BMW driver etc) waiting for the lift at work today. Said the usual local greeting to him. Got nothing in reply. Got in lift. Turned his back to me. Lift stopped. He got out. Not a word.

 

Another case of german manager shithead.

Ex:2

 

This guy has never spoken to me in the two years I have worked in the office with him. He drives his sport's car, walks around with an all-important air, doesn't reply to standard greetings, and wears that damn handkerchief around his neck!!!

A picture! Looks like you've found a true "German manager shithead".

 

Strange. Looks like my landlord, who, upon realizing that I was to sign a rental agreement for one of his way-overpriced flats said "Hmmm that's too cheap, how does 80,- more a month sound?".

 

Give yourself a gold star Stubbles!

I was out on the piss a few months ago with an Australian friend of mine. We were waiting on the platform of the u-bahn at Marienplatz and a couple of German manager shitheads walked towards us and stood near us - wearing their suits at 2am.

 

My mate said hello as they walked past and (of course) got no reply. He berated them for their rudeness and when they responded by telling him to away, he stood there and abused them for 10 minutes until the U-Bahn came - asking them where they learnt their manners from and suggesting they didn't come from good homes. I was in stitches by the time the train finally arrived. They were shocked and didn't know how to respond. Even when they tried to walk away, my mate just followed them to the other end of the platform.

Fantastic! Your mate is ace. Gold star winging its way to you hazza.

 

Strange, but the guys that are higher up in the chain seem ok... guy across the corridor from me is in charge of about 3000 peeps and he always says hi.

Interesting observation.

 

I was moving office with a couple of colleagues Thursday to a new place in Oberhaching which is near to Kugler Alm beergarden which is supposed to be famous.

 

We put all out stuff in a 7 tonne lorry and shipped it out of Munich to this place. Now I must say there are some very tasty women working there. At first i thought it was a company manufacturing beautiful girls but was wrong.

 

Thursday we wee filling up the lift when some German manager shitheads simply alked around our stuff in the lift without any kind of acknowledgement that we existed.

 

They are assholes.

When they depart you can say "fick dich" really quickly to them. If spoke quickly it can be easily misheard as the Bavarian "fierti" (never seen it written, sorry), meaning goodbye.

 

Handy that.

Very good! I'll give that one a try. Might have a hard time not articulating the two words perfectly though.

 

Cmon United.

Not about managers, but similar:

 

I worked for 1.5 years in an office with 3 other guys. In the time I was there two of the 3 (bearing in mind that they were roughly same age as me):

- never went out with me for a drink

- never told me anything personal (like what they did at the weekend)

- never helped me with anything (well, once the manager drove me around

to find me a flat, but only because they were getting a russian slave and

then this slave could then stay with me - if I had a flat)

 

And to think it was my first job in Germany, didn't speak a word of German and had no friends within 300km.

 

Nice bunch.

 

PS: Manager of company was also a GMS (German Manager Sh*thead).

Used to strut around with a long black leather jacket. Nice. He kept a

couple of illegal immigrants in his barn and worked them hard. Nice.

 

PPS: There was a nice american secretary in the company. After 7 years working

in Germany she was advised by her doctor to go back to america as it was

stressing her out so much!!!

 

PPPS: I'm slowly getting the same 7 year itch...

Hazza, have I missed something? Why would you or your friend annoy other people(minding their own business), irrespective of their Race or position in the workplace? If you were responding to their rudeness or something, then I could understand but to annoy them for no reason and lecture them on manners is beyond me. Surely the people needing a lesson in manners, live a little closer to home?

[NoGo 4]

Granny, I think you've missed the trip here, or are you just messin' wid us maybe? The idea is to beat them into admitting that they're rude (not everyone, just the occasional idiot you meet day-to-day at the office). Very difficult as they're obviously totally superior in every way.

 

I think his friend was just sooooo pissed off with the cold shoulder that he decided to annoy them. If you behave pig ignorant you deserve it. He didn't hit them, he just lectured them.

 

Read the rest of the thread and you'll get the drift. There's only so much rudeness you can take until you've had enough. But, hey, we're in a big city in Germany and we should accept it. You get pretty much the same rudeness from managers in Paris too (from what I've heard).

 

Even some of my "nice" colleagues ignore the putzfrau/man at work and that annoys me too.

[Granny 11]

I understand what your saying and have also been on the receiving end of the usual rudeness. Before, I would say nothing, now I speak enough German to be very sarcastic back to them and that works, believe me!

However, I still think it's wrong to instigate a potentially aggrivating situation. Unless of course it's a police officer! In that case, be my guest.
