Your Boss is Insane, an Infographic by Sarah Wenger

I don't normally post stuff like this, but I've been working hard on the second Detective Simeon book and his new supervising LT has serious issues. In fact, he might fall into the first category seen on this well done, and well researched graphic.

I've also had some bad supervisors during my time as an officer and a detective on the police department, but let me get this straight right away. This new character IS NOT based on any one of them. He is fiction!

In light of all this, but absolutely coincidental, Sara Wenger, at Learn Stuff.com sent me the following infographic that she recently developed. I can say that I have personally experienced a lot of this. They know who they are.

Thanks for letting me post this, Sarah.
