“Trust Me, I Got This”

When Your Staff Is Stupid But Has an Ego the Size of a Skyscraper

This is the person who swears they’ve got everything under control. You’re optimistic—“maybe they’ve learned,” you tell yourself. Then comes the execution: missed deadlines, wrong numbers, and a final result that looks like it was pieced together during a power outage. When questioned, they’ll shrug and say, “It’s not that bad, boss.”

Not that bad? Your blood pressure says otherwise.

Confidence level: 100%. Execution? Somewhere in the negative.

You’ve asked for a simple presentation. What you get is a 97-slide masterpiece with Comic Sans titles, clip art from 1998, and “innovative” ideas that sound like they’ve been borrowed from a toddler’s daydream. When you gently suggest a tweak, they’ll look at you like you’ve just insulted their family heritage.
