How can you tell if a new boss is a bad manager?
If they repeatedly use the word “yeah?” as a interrogative at the end of every verbal statement, odds are that they’re a shouty useless cunt.

It's not a universal rule.
A former boss of mine used to do it a lot and explained the habit by saying that if you say "yeah" all the time, you imbue your listeners with positivity, so they're more likely to say yes when you ask them a question.

Then again, he learned the technique from his boss, who *was* a shouty useless cunt.

It's also a good way to tell if someone is a prick in general, yeah?
