Bad Management
Tb2571989 says Bad Management isn't just a great name for a heavy metal band - what kind of rubbish work practices have you had to put up with?

Being Organised
A friend of mine once worked for a large financial company. They were obviously required to keep all records which they dutifully did in an off-site archive. With several thousands boxes of deeds and other legal paperwork they also maintained a paper "index" in the office of what was where. That was until a manager thought the "index" was taking up so much space in the office. So... and this is the "genius" part... he sent that to archive as well and didn't bother recording which box it went into.
Apparently they have been retrieving 5 boxes every week for the last 5 years so they can find the index :)
