Even thought the employee head count is 10 to 25 people, he´s hired, and fired, over 30 employees in the last year. The average length of employment is about 3 months. He doesn´t connect this to his management style or the way projects are run in the company.

He visited mini-39.joctapi.info and got infected with vast quantities of spyware. The moron even disabled his antivirus because he was dumb enough to believe the stupid "Warning your PC is infected" nonsense the site spewed.

He has you post hundreds of spam comments to various blogs thinking he's making people think there's a grassroots movement supporting the product. He doesn't realize that the bland template comments are easily identified as fake by anyone reading them.

He spends three days ranting and raving about ONE Youtube comment that´s critical of the product.

The company needs to hire a new Network Administrator during the 90´s .COM boom. The owner wants too pay $30,000 a year for the salary. During a meeting to discuss this one of the IT guys says "Good, Fast, Cheap, pick two."

The owner replies "I pick all three. Programmers are glorified typists and I´m not paying a fortune for some pencil neck to type just because it´s a f***ing server."

You´re discussing the need to prioritize web design tasks and the owner cuts off all discussion with the sentence "Just do all of it. I don´t care what order you do it in just do all of it."

There was a problem with legacy data coming from a customer. Two people are tasked with cleaning up the data and told to work out their own solutions. It´s a contest to settle a technology dispute.

Programmer A spends three days working on a fix.

Programmer B has a fix written and the data cleaned up in under two hours. He even ports the fix to ASP so the webmaster can build a page that cleans up data in the problem format when clients submit it.

Why is the boss clueless? He refused to tell Programmer A that the fix was written and in production because he didn´t want to deal with the temper tantrum that Programmer A would have when he was shown up.

The temper tantrum still happened, and programmer A refused to admit that he lost the contest.

He´s confused about basic Internet Terms. For example, he refers to "FTPing all over the place" during a sales presentation to talk about demoing the web (Not FTP) based product he´s selling.

He has pointy hair
