I have 2 bosses (the managing directors of the small business I'm in)
they seem to unintentionally do the "good manager, bad manager routine" regarding finances, which I'm in charge of somehow. one of them (who shall be called orson) just says "the finances are wrong" and asks me to work out how much we rally have, from data he claims to be "wrong" (typical boss logic there!). all I do is point out that a cheque hasn't cleared or we haven't received for an order has been added, and orson leaves confused. a few minutes later, my other manager (who shall be referred to as H. G.) walks past, and asks basically the same questions packaged differently: "are you sure the finances are right?" and similar questions. he then brings me the raw data, and asks me to double check it (which makes mre sense than chacking wrong figures against wrong data really)and leaves me to check, when orson shows up again and tells me to stop reading what he somehow assumes is a newspaper and tells me to get back to "fixing" the finances. he did it once while I was ill... and it took me a week so sort it out. inb other news, nobody is entirely sure when we make sales, including the sales department...
