It's funny how many workarounds there are as a result of "bad managers." I'm not sure why the mirror isn't turned around. But I'm quite certain that bad bosses have to go. It's funny, I've been reading a lot of Bob Sutton's commentary on the "No A**hole Rule." So many of them out there. Megan, so true.
