It's sort of important to have a boss who knows how your job actually works. Otherwise, they continually demand that you do unreasonable things, make the work itself worse, and end up making everyone at the company look like a stupid jackass. You know, sort of important.

This person's boss in particular didn't know how paint dried. A manager in charge of a team that paints murals didn't know, or wasn't willing to accept that you can't paint in the rain. This seems like a no-brainer for anyone who is worked with or even seen paint before, but manglement wasn't going to let the laws of physical reality get in the way of a completed project.

As it turned out, this was the last straw in a whole bundle of screw ups that led the whole team to realize that they'd be better off somewhere else. It's just too bad this manager won't have to be forced to include on his resume "doesn't know how paint works, made a whole team quit."

For another wild one, here's theemployee who got fired on a technicality so they took their property and left the business nonfunctional.
