All you need to know to excel in management can be learned by working for a deranged boss

It is true. “Apprentice” for a few years – or as long as you can possibly stand – and just soak in the ineptitude and lack of professionalism.

(Actual glamour shot of Bertha, socially retarded boss)

How to fully encapsulate Bertha's management style? Well to quote Santa Anna - "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it." In Bertha's case, she has failed twice as a manager and has now moved on to her third set of victims.

A moment of silence for them...

But some unlucky bastards had to end up with her, and it will be interesting to see how quickly the new job becomes a tragic reenactment of the first two.

So in honor of Bertha and her uncanny ability to always land on her feet, I give you Berthaisms or what NOT to do when you become a manager.

Berthaism #1: When an employee arrives at work on Halloween Day in a modest Halloween costume, don't let your first question to said employee be "Are you wearing underwear?" This would seem to be a question that is inappropriate for this or any work situation.

Berthaism #2: When arriving as a new manager in a new workplace, refrain from BRAGGING to your new minions that your former minions hated you so much that one threated to kill you and you had to get a restraining order issued. This doesn't paint a rosy outlook, but instead forbodes a future reign of terror.

Berthaism #3: Choose who you bully and emotionally abuse with caution. Just because you are able to spend years leaving certain minions in tears and constantly worried about future torment or unemployment, doesn't mean it won't come back to bite you in your enormous ass. As history has proven time and again, when you leave someone with nothing to lose - even the biggest doormats - will come out fighting.

Hence the death threats, Bertha.
