I think I saw this in a TV serial, where the AC was turned on to be too cold in the room auditors were seated. I think that was in the film The Wolf Of Wallstreet. You probably shouldn't copy any behaviour you saw in that!!

| Jun 28, 2016 at 8:13 | comment | added | Brandin | "my boss there was talking (jokingly) of throttling the network speed of the LAN" - people make jokes all the time that don't reflect reality at all. If he was actually intending to take this action, he almost certainly wouldn't have joked about it. Your other "instance" that you mentioned is from a comedy television series, so is clearly a joke. Do you have any actual instance of this occurring? | |

| Jun 25, 2016 at 17:09 | comment | added | G.T.D. | All your boss or previous bosses were doing is making another person's job and livelihood that much harder...usually because they are hiding something they know they are not supposed to be doing. I know auditors who could make life a living he** if someone pulled those kinds of childish actions. The auditor, depending on the industry/regulations, can actually say to the company that your boss in not showing competency in his job by giving long answers to simple questions. He could also start nitpicking as there is always a violation available. | |
