I totally agree. Does make you wonder how some people get promoted into the position of management...

If anything in the situation expressed by Waterknob that would not instil fear in me... it would instil a very distinct lack of respect, demotivation and overall cynicism towards their competence which in turn would too make me look for another job while just viewing the manager in question with distain.

I think you're doing the right thing Waterknob... might be worthwhile raising the issue with your HR department if you have support from others or speaking to a union rep if you have one.
