What's the strangest question employers have been asked during an
interview? Among the responses:
* What is it you people do at this company?
* Why aren't you in a more interesting business?
* Will the company move my rock collection from California to
Maryland?
* Does you company have a policy regarding concealed weapons?
--from "Idiots at Work: Chronicles of Workplace Stupidity"
Leland Gregory once thought crooks, politicians, and lawyers were
the greatest nitwits out there, but it turns out that the working
masses are packed with the dumb, dumber, and dumbest humans on the
face of the planet. Gregory's look at nincompoops, "Idiots at Work:
Chronicles of Workplace Stupidity, " makes it crystal clear that
the world's biggest jerks are on the job. Consider these examples:
* The woman who sued Eastman Kodak to improve the lighting
conditions on her job...in a darkroom?
* The Ontario Federation of Labor, which installed a bad boss
hotline to get a handle on labor problems--only to have the system
crash soon after startup because too many calls came in.
* The interviewee who wore a Walkman, explaining that she could
listen to the interviewer and the music at the same time.
Gregory has made a career out of finding the imbeciles of the world
and sharing their antics with the rest of us. His AMP humor
compilations "What's the Number for 911?," "What's the Number for
911 Again?," "The Stupid Crook Book, " and "Hey, Idiot " were all
hilarious, but "Idiots at Work" takes the cake. The book is filled
with hilarious tales of moronic managers, office idiots, stupid
shareholders, daft decision-makers, poor planners, and other
outstanding examples of cubical klutzes.
