This one has upper management written all over him
Everyone has had a dumb boss. Or a lazy one, or absent or whatever. I've been fortunate enough to have some -great- bosses since getting into casting. It was a serious wake-up call and attitude adjustment about my lingering preconceived notions of Hollywood.
By and large, they're quite good at their jobs, and I've learned a lot from them.
This doesn't mean there aren't some practices which I still find unusual.
This question is for you real-world jobby types;
Have you ever had to train your supervisor in exactly the practice, form and execution of the duties which they'll be supervising you doing?
I have. Twice in two weeks.

No, but that's not to say it hasn't been called for. People in HR like to come into a job and pretend they're a fucking expert, particularly when they haven't the slightest idea what they're doing. They're just too proud to admit they could use some training.

I have done it once in the very distant past, and they couldn't cope with the stress of the position. After they quit, another manager stepped up, and he was incompitent, but luckily, he needed no real training. I gave up after that, and changed professions.
