This is a question Shit Bosses

Shit bosses are the bane of your working life, from their self-defeating penny pinching to their questionable personal hygiene to their outright delusions and paranoia. Tell us about about the petty tyrants and jokers under whose jackboot you've groaned.

Working in tech support
We had to keep calls short, which meant a limited time span for listening to people shout at you about things that were beyond your ability to fix... things like 'your local telephone exchange is under 6' of water due to the recent flooding'.
Our manager understandably did not want to have to listen to the countries most ignorant and angry internet customers either. Passing on too many calls for people who had requested to speak with him would result in loosing your job.

Despite this I got repeatedly complained at for 'forwarding too many calls to extention 253'. I found it the best solution all round... after all its not like anyone actually sent us any faxes. I would forward calls to the fax machine rather than to my boss, because my boss was shit.

Not so much too subtle
as insufficiently comprehensible.
