When it's cold outside... I got the month of May...

So here I am, once again missing months! How will I ever get a following now?
While winter happens to be my favourite season, the weather turning colder has somehow triggered a spate of workplace dissatisfaction. Although equals are causing me some consternation, I'll focus on what is troubling those around me.

I have noticed increasingly, from my own experience and by talking to others, that quite a few of those in positions of authority or power possess little to no basics skills that are essential for healthy relationships whether working or otherwise.

Firstly management lose the ability to talk to someone in a lesser position as if they were a thinking human being and with no respect whatsoever.
Manger Rule 1: talk to everyone as if they are not able to empathise and are completely daft. Note: Increase the intensity if this person shows signs of rational thought processes.

Next they lose the capacity to discuss business that are essentially the domain of someone under them. This particular failing intensifies to taking over projects/duties and then turning on the person repsonsible if things don't go right or move fast enough, even if it's their fault.
Manager Rule 2: A list of duties and responsibilities of staff is only a guide, if there's anything you can steal glory for, go ahead.
Note: Don't discard list of staff responsiblities, you may need it to ascribe blame later.

Finally, managers' long praised people skills and interpersonal skills are redirected away from those in their direct employ towards those who could line their pockets or enhance their CV. This is the final step to become a fully fledged manager (though others may use a slightly less poltie word here). Staff will see right through the shallow facade and those you are trying to impress are laughing behind their hands.
Manger Rule 3: Only be pleasent to those who can further your career, especially if they are not in your organisation.
Note: Keep staff from these people or the spell will be broken.

Solution: I take this quote from Remember the Titans "I'm supposed to wear myself out for the team? What team? Nah, nah what I'm gonna do is look out for myself and I'ma get mine."
