My boss is terrible with budgets...
he keeps complaining about spending cuts but in the past 2 years has:

1 - bought 10 copies of adobe flash pro that no one has ever used, not even once at a cost of around £2000.

2 - bought two laptop safes worth £2500 each which were the wrong size and only held 10 laptops when we have around 40 even after consulting me and being told which specific ones to purchase, he then ignores and buys the wrong ones.

3 - 40 odd ipods (touch's/nano's) that he left in a locker for a year before ordering more and opening the locker to store them there and realising that he'd forgotten about the previous ones.

4 - telling me we had no money left in the budget for an external disk worth £120 before coming back to me the day before the financial year ended and telling me he'd found £15,000 that needed to be spent asap.

he's fucking useless, he's losing his mind, he's probably reading this and hasn't got a clue it's about him.

My boss...
...turned down my recommendation to spend £4,000 on new servers and software, the same week that a £4,000 exhibition stand turned up.

Six weeks later our existing server blew up, costing the business at least £10,000 in lost business and external consultancy fees.

And four years later, we've still never had a stand at an exhibition.
