The unfair comparison post.

I'm starting to reach the conclusion that I just plain don't like taking orders. It's not just Anarchist Prime (although so far he's proven worse than the others) - I reacted badly to Darth Chaos, too. Why? I tend to reach the conclusion that they are interfering old sods who insist on changing systems around just because they like to make their employees stressed. (Still, I need to keep myself housed, clothed, and fed...)

So far, the only thing that Anarchist Prime has done that I fully support is in implementing the training software that his predecessor, Darth Chaos, was pushing for. Okay, the software has a few bugs in it, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the problems we've had with it have been pure incompetence on Anarchist Prime's part, but I'm sure we can sort it out.

I got used to Darth Chaos eventually - but she gave me the impression that she cared about more than just personal aggrandisement, which is more than Anarchist Prime has done. Sure, it's probably not fair on either of them to be comparing them like this, but Anarchist Prime has managed to make himself fairly unpopular since he started.

But you see, I was somewhat relieved when Darth Chaos left, too.

Part of the problem, I think, is that the two people we've had in the position here so far took on so much work and delegated so little of it to their subordinates that at least Darth Chaos had to be ordered by Mr Big to cut her workload back a bit - and the time will probably come when Anarchist Prime is either ordered to cut back, or will suffer the effects of stress. (I have a feeling that he will prove to be at least as rebellious towards Mr Big as I am towards him, when it comes to following orders from on high. Still, we all keep dreaming about the day Anarchist Prime makes his final mistake and gets his backside kicked all the way back to Melbourne.)
