'He came into the job knowing absolutely zero about what we did': Clueless boss causes entire department to be terminated

This manager could only do one thing: sink every department he was put in charge of. 

As much fun as it probably is to hire a bunch of your friends to work with you, that strategy is going to come with some drawbacks. Sure, you two can goof around and take long lunches. But when it comes time to get down to business, you may regret hiring your BFF for something they're totally unqualified for. 

That's what happened at this worker's company in the aftermath of a management change. Before the switch, their whole team was given generous pay bumps and were told to take responsibility in their jobs. But after that management change, a new hire came onboard, and this supervisor had zero idea how to do his job. To make matters worse, this person was also insisting on getting results (without knowing what that would even entail). 

Now, some management types are able to fake it until they make it. But not this person. He was apparently so clueless that everyone realized the original poster was the dude to go to with any questions. You can check out the full story of this supervisor's plan that backfired spectacularly. 

Next up, these people ate some completely awful meals at the weddings they attended, like one person who had to eat "plain boiled chicken with no seasonings."
