'Yet another new manager facing the consequences': New boss costs company $6000 in one day after making employees listen to long-winded speech

Some people just love to hear the sound of their own voices. Doesn't matter what the topic is, or if it's even appropriate for them to be yapping: some people just can't help themselves. 

These days, lots of offices are switching from remote work back to office work. For micromanagers, not having their employees in the office is a missed opportunity to boss them around. They get to feel empowered as they peer over your shoulder every few minutes. But many employees love to work remotely (for the exact opposite reason). They can work in the privacy of their own home, without ever having to worry about Greg from finance popping over to make sure they're still working hard while eating a microwaved lunch. 

This manager not only told his team to come into the office instead of Zooming in, but he then made them listen to eight hours' worth of speeches about himself. What a bore! That might be the fastest and easiest way to become the office workers' #1 nemesis. 

Read the entire tale from u/Absurd-n-Nihilistic below. Then, these people had a few questions that left the people around them speechless, like one customer who requested to "pay cash over the phone."
