Acknowledgments I want to thank Career Press publisher, Ron Fry, for having the courage to publish the confessions of a recovering Idiot Boss and examine the sometimes unsightly underworld of employee/employer relationships; Career Press editorial director, Stacey Farkas and editor, Nicole De Felice, who transformed a raging torrent of ideas and personal illustrations into a readable document that actually makes sense; my mother, Ruth Schultz Hoover, a gifted writer herself, who examined early drafts and said," Listen to your editors"; Sandy Wilson, a gifted training and development professional, who read an early draft and confirmed that the issue of Idiot Bosses needed to be brought out of the closet and into the daylight where we could all have a good laugh. Thanks also to author and leadership expert, Danny Cox, for being an inspiration to me and to so many. And special thanks to Pamala Davenport for her encouragement to see this through to the end.

The experi- ence of working for an Idiot Boss is so universal and the feelings of frustration so widespread that the mere mention of this book title resonates throughout the human race. It does not resonate, however, with Idiot Bosses (code name: "I-Bosses"), not because they take exception to the name-calling and innuendo, but because I-Bosses just don't get it—any of it. I once failed miserably trying to market a seminar titled, "How to Manage People who are Smarter, More Talented, and Productive than You Are." My mistake was advertising to Idiot Bosses who needed the seminar. If I had advertised to people who could anony- mously enroll and send their Idiot Bosses, I'd be a multimillionaire. How to Work for an Idiot might not be a seminar to which bosses will eagerly send their employees, but as a book, the potential audience of highly motivated revenge seekers is huge and as ubiquitous as oxygen. Speaking of omnipresence, on the seventh day, God relaxed and thought back over the productive week He had just completed. Suddenly remembering that He forgot to fix the Idiot Boss malfunction, God winced and said, "oops." Not feeling the problem was annoying enough to create an eight-day week, God let the idiot thing slide, and the rest is history. Then again, God doesn't have to work for an idiot. 9 10 How to Work For an Idiot Idiot Bosses are the mutant hiccups of organizational evolution with cockroach-like immunity to calamities that wipe out truly tal- ented and creative people. Although idiots are barnacles on the ship of executive survival, they can nonetheless serve valuable functions— as long as they're not in charge. The bad news is they usually are in charge. The good news is, talented and dedicated people can rise above the situation and thrive in spite of their I-Bosses. If How to Work for an Idiot doesn't provide you with the knowledge and awareness to deal with this vertical mobility challenge, it might at least keep you from going postal. Nearly everyone now works or has worked for an I-Boss. Despite the liberties this book takes with archetypal Idiot Bosses in the tradi- tion of Dagwood's Mr. Dithers or Dilbert's despicable department head, it also suggests some methods and techniques to help you deal with fools in positions of power more easily. You'll encounter pearls of wisdom in the pages ahead. But, at times, you'll need to follow a herd of swine to find them. Isn't that how real life works? I'll lead you through many of my own experiences so the truths will be revealed in the appropriate con- text. You'll learn to reflect on your own life experiences and, in doing so, potentially make your relationship with idiots tolerable and even productive. You'll begin by activating and enlarging your empathic capacity, thus rendering Idiot Bosses powerless to increase hostility, blood pressure, or the likelihood of homicide. I-Bosses only have as much power over your mood as you allow. For most, the terms empathy and idiot don't often appear in the same thought. But what has resentment done for you lately? Resent- ment causes your heart to shrivel and your veins, arteries, and capil- laries to harden. While all that's happening to you, your I-Boss's heart is merrily pumping away, forcing oxygenated blood though veins, ar- teries, and capillaries as wide open and free-flowing as a Los Angeles freeway at 3 o'clock on a Sunday morning. By sharing some of my good and not-so-good life experiences, and inviting you to reflect on your own memorable and forgettable experiences, you'll begin to see how your I-Boss came to aggravate you so much. How aggravated we allow ourselves to become is more about our own attitudes than the external persons or circumstances committing the alleged aggravating. The key to surviving and thriving Introduction 11 without killing your boss (as the subtitle suggests) is to take control over the only thing you have control over: your emotional response to the things other people say and do as well as things that go bump in the universe. How to Work for an Idiot is as irreverent as it is therapeutic, as satirical as it is sensible, as lighthearted as it is heartfelt, and treats the classic hierarchical management model with all of the dignity and respect it deserves in a progressive private sector—none. Chapters such as "Idiotspeak" and "Idiot-eat" are replete with tales of bungling and stumbling attempts at leadership; mostly my bungling and stum- bling attempts at leadership. If I can help you become more comfortable with your frail and imperfect humanity, I've helped launch you on a path toward a se- rene and comfortable coexistence with the idiots in your personal and professional lives. With empathy comes increased tolerance, patience, and a sense of peace. Facing truths about our own flirta- tions with stupidity can sometimes be difficult. That's why I've chosen to lace this book with wall-to-wall humor. If a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, a barrel of laughs can wash down the big pills you might need to swallow. I've had a bitter pill of self- aggrandizement lodged in my throat for years. I gag on it to this day if I eat too fast. There is no guarantee my anecdotal approach to surviving and thriving despite your Idiot Boss will make you taller, better looking, increase your intelligence, or lose weight. I do guarantee that I write from a position of authority on the subject. If you read my biographi- cal sketch on the back cover, you know that I hold a Ph.D. I also have two Master's degrees and years of experience as a worker bee, middle manager, executive, entrepreneur, consultant, and mental health clinical intern. More important than any of that is the fact that I'm an idiot. More accurately, a recovering idiot. The operative word (in case you didn't notice) is recovering.

    DEUS EX MACHINA: THE GOD MACHINE by NICHOLAS JAMES PINCUMBE A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Nicholas James Pincumbe 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT God is our salvation from eternal death. That’s what Professor Nicholas Updown grew up believing. But what if there is no God? What then? These questions lead Nicholas down an unprecedented path of scientific exploration that unlocks the secrets to traveling through time. The wake of this discovery sweeps up a cast of odd and ambitious characters, including Updown’s sultry wife, a no holds barred Presidential candidate, a mysterious hooded killer, a curious journalist, a crusading cop, the founder of Forever Life, and a whole slew of uniformed Time Travelers. Along the way, Nicholas Updown learns a thing or two about the secrets of the universe and those in his own life. ii DEDICATION To Rachel, who was worth waiting for. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Without the efforts of all those I’ve met at the University of Alabama, this thesis would not have been possible. I’m grateful to Wendy Rawlings, in whose workshop I wrote the original short story this work is based on. To Phil Beidler, as well, who helped me find the literary depth for the work’s expansion. To Michael Martone who helped me look at the big picture and Gary Mankey who helped me find the scientific sounding lie. To Kate Bernheimer for being on my committee and always being a kind face.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

    ABSTRACT Would You Blow-the-Whistle on a Friend? Analysis of the Significance of Relationships on Whistleblower Intentions Amy Miller Director: Kathy Hurtt, Ph.D. Whistleblowing is an essential tool in exposing wrongdoings and ending corruption, however it can be an arduous and unforgiving task that few are willing to accept. Individuals that do decide to blow-the-whistle are often subject to retaliation, loss of employment, and defamation of character. Despite the costs associated with whistleblowing, there are individuals who are willing to come forward about these illegal, unruly, or unethical, acts. This study analyzes how a person‘s relationship with a wrongdoer affects whether he or she reports the wrongdoer‘s misconduct. In this study over 360 undergraduate and graduate business students were asked if they would report a wrongdoing based on a series of scenarios. The scenarios incorporated a variety of situations that could occur either at a university or a corporation. The data showed there was a significant difference in the responses from students when the wrongdoer was a stranger and when the wrongdoer had a closer relationship with the potential whistleblower. The data also exhibited that when a wrongdoer holds a superior position to the potential whistleblower, the potential whistleblower would be affected by the wrongdoer‘s superior position unless the wrongdoing committed is extremely severe. This study shows that the whistleblower‘s relationship with the wrongdoer does affect his or her intent to blow-the-whistle. This research is valuable in understanding the factors that drive the whistleblower‘s intent to report misconduct. APPROVED BY DIRECTOR OF HONORS THESIS Dr.

  • Praise for the Corporate Whistleblower's Survival Guide
    Praise for The Corporate Whistleblower’s Survival Guide “Blowing the whistle is a life-altering experience. Taking the fi rst step is the hardest, knowing that you can never turn back. Harder yet is not taking the step and allowing the consequences of not blowing the whistle to continue, knowing you could have stopped them. Your life will be forever changed; friends and family will question your ac- tions if not your sanity, your peers will shun you, every relationship you treasure will be strained to the breaking point. This handbook is required reading for anyone considering blowing the whistle.” —Richard and Donna Parks, Three Mile Island cleanup whistleblower and wife “The Corporate Whistleblower’s Survival Guide will be an immense help! For while there are no one-size-fi ts-all ‘right answers,’ the au- thors have effectively translated their decades of actual experience, insights, and resources in this fi eld onto paper. A realistic framework will now exist to help people confronting such diffi cult situations.” —Coleen Rowley, FBI 9/11 whistleblower and a 2002 Time Person of the Year “Lays out exactly what potential corporate whistleblowers must know to help improve their chances of both surviving whistleblowing and stopping the misconduct they set out to expose. My only hope is that we can help spread the word so that all potential corporate whistle- blowers read this book before they take their fi rst steps down that lonely road.” —Danielle Brian, Executive Director, Project on Government Oversight “As commissioner, I relied on whistleblowers like Jeffrey Wigand to learn the inside story about the deceptive practices of the tobacco industry.
