They undermine your confidence. They use blame to control you. They micromanage you. They're gaslighting you. They never praise your work. They use intimidation. They take credit for your work. They meddle in your personal life.

You'd think there was an award for slum manager with how many jobs in the US are running on skeleton crew, since the housing market crash. Now we're all doing two jobs for the price of one!

This theory covers the principle that you have some people who are incompetent but get promoted anyway due to arrogance, self-belief and ignorance of their own capabilities and limitations. Their self-belief comes across as confidence and skill during short interview exposure where real skills are not challenged or tested thoroughly. Ultimately they become a manager. They try to exert control over all future situations, despite a lack of informed knowledge.

These employees float up to the top of an organisation, repeating the same process. and this is why there is a layer of shit often floating at the top, underneath which capable employees become exhausted and disgruntled.

This in essence is the Polystyrene Brown Management Theory.

It gains its name from some simple principles. If placed in water, Polestyrene will float to the top, pushing everything out of its way to get there, where it refuses to sink, is bad for the environment and is generally just shit. Inhibiting the necessary light needed for employee growth underneath where they are left in a less oxygen-rich environment, unable to get the necessary straws to aid breathing, due to the budget cuts imposed by said Polystyrene Brown Management.

The environment that the employee is left to work in starts to turn brown, and everywhere they look they feel they are surrounded by shit.
Polysterene Brown Management Theory

"I have been working in this company for 23 years, and we don't need to change or adapt to any of these dumbfounding IT security principles or ideas you have, if you don't like it then leave!!!!" - said David.

"Well David, that's some "Polysternene Brown Management Theory" bullshit right there you useless bag of limp dicks" - replied Kevin.

Professional Manager

A manager that doesn't know the job. Just manages.
He doesn't know what you are doing. He is just a professional manager.

property manager

The minion to a landlord. Usually an antagonistic go-between placed between the landlord and the people who actually live on site. There are more and more property managers now than there used to now that housing is being gobbled up by private equity (see Blackrock), and that means the absentee landlords are spread pretty thin, so they need to hire a small army of property managers to surveil and dictate the goings-on in each of their rental properties.
"This property manager sucks, she won't return our calls except to yell at us about having guests over."

A term invented by John Kerry and/or Bill Gates to denote 'non white population control'.
According to Kerry and Gates by the mid 21st century there's supposed to be more people in Africa than China and India combined. So they're proposing something called ubiquitous fertility management. I don't know 😕 🤷 why they're doing this.
