Management techniques

My most anger filled moments are at work dealing with Tom-tom (sc).
When I first met Tom-tom (sc) I though he was a nice guy. I tried to get on with him and do my best to complete my duties.
But it soon came apparent that no matter what I did, it would not be enough. This is because he is an asshole.
A common complaint, and anyone who has been in any kind of work environment can relate. He is an asshole due to a complete lack of social skills, and in inability to motivate others. Most of these things of course come down from the "top" from a superior’s whose abilities are so lacking I often wonder how they get there. Tom-tom (sc) an asshole of the highest order likes to motivate people by continual threats of being "out placed" This is generally the only skill he seems to possess and I often wonder if he is capable of anything else.
Tom-tom (sc) and myself go on lots of managerial, team building and other exercises that are mostly useless.
This due to the management ethos of if you do not like it you can always leave, or we can outplace you techniques.
So all of those management courses should be replaced with firing people or making their lives a misery101.

We have meetings to find out "why do people leave the company" of which I am always tempted to say "because we are cunts to them" of course I have learned along time ago to say anything truthful or negative WILL cost me my job. So I put forward positive ideas that of course they love as none of them actually involve doing anything or spending money.

Ho hum
