seething ball of rage

SBR is far from management material. Nuff said.

Are you kidding? SBR would be the PERFECT candidate for management!

I can think of two companies that would gladly hire this douchebag to be their corporate manager puppet:

Convergys
Charter Communications

My experience is that many people think angry and defensive is a good mindset for managers.

When you work in a restaurant it's almost impossible to get any kind of break at all unless you're smoking. Also, in my experience, about 90% of restaurant workers smoked. That's not a coincidence.

This annoys me. I don't smoke, so if I want a break, the official rule is that I have to clock out & lose 30 mins. of pay. But the people who are addicted to the little sticks can take multiple paid breaks per shift. They're supposed to be doing work outside while they smoke, but they never do. So addiction=paid break. Fine. I'm addicted to food; I die without it. (I often work 6, 7, or 8-hour shifts w/ no break.)

So, what about the "Lump"? It's like, you just mentioned him, gave all this backstory involving him, and just abandoned him to talk about SBR.

WHAT HAPPENS TO LUMP? Don't leave us hanging, wondering...

lol yeah, I thought maybe Lump was going to rise up righteous and smack the shit out of SBR

Poor Lump. I'm sorry to have given the appearence that he was further involved. I only mentioned his story to demonstrate that my choice of activity had nothing whatsoever to do with SBR - that it was chosen to play to Lump's, um, strengths. He sat quietly by during the whole exchange, his face a dreamy smile, as he had done for the entire class. I think he was in his happy place for the whole week. Must be some place.
SBR, on the other hand, has since had his driver's privileges revoked due to some poor performance on the road. Seems I'm not the only one who brings out the worst in him.

Sorry, my previous post was bitter sarcasm.

My honest feelings are:
1) SBR is a horrible example of what a good manager is.
2) It was also a Mike Tyson-esque jab at Convergys and Charter (both which are completely horrible companies that have horrendous turnover rates due to mismanagement) and their hiring and managing practices.
