The Boss
My chief at a large retail chain used to decide on head office redundancies by chanting "One potato, two potato" over the staff list. Tell us about your mad psycho bosses - collect your P45 on the way out.
Bruce Springsteen jokes = Ban, ridicule

in reverse
After joining a soulless petrol station at a young age i made my way up to Duty Manager by the age of 21... This was partly down to my enthusiasm and hard work and partly due to the lack of any skills from the rest of the staff. (Luckily my bad spelling had no effect :) )
Can i say as a young manager how difficult it is to get any one to do anything! As for having to disipline and, on one occasion sack staff, it takes a major level of tact and manipulation to get any point across.
Age really is just a number and there are just as many competent 20yr olds as there are sodding useless fifty yr olds - And the reverse is also true!
