Incompetent Employers

Have you ever worked for somebody and couldn't help but think, "Who hired this guy?" If so, then you are probably living my life.

Everyday I go to work, I have to pray first and ask God to give me the strength to deal with the crap that I know is bound to emerge while at work. I work at a restaurant, and we are ALWAYS running out of something. Most recently, we ran out of straws so the manager went to the store and has us serving the guests unwrapped straws. I've been embarrassed to work at this particular restaurant before, but my embarrassment reached its climax that day. Not only were the straws unwrapped, but they were the colorful bendy ones that people serve at a barbeque.

Never in my life have I worked somewhere the manager didn't do an inventory check EVERYDAY. This manager never knows we are about to run out of something until its gone.

With this said, i honestly feel that it is a requirement to be incompetent at all times. Do you work at a place where you feel that you are smarter or more qualified than the person above you?
