How did you realise your boss knew shit ?

How and what was the incident that made you first realize your boss knew nothing about what he/she was doing and was just coasting along sprouting corporate mumbo jumbo and everybody just zoning out or nodding along

Few months into my first job, I was raising POs in SAP. I had a doubt in a particular PO and asked my manager (they had completed 5 years in the company). I was so surprised they dint know shit coz that wasnt the impression they gave everyone.

Few days later, they took me to a cabin and made me teach the whole thing, while she took notes lol. Funny part was, our department head barged and my manager quietly told me not to mention to anyone that I was teaching SAPπŸ˜‚

Saw my first job offer letter today after 5 years of working at IBM because I wanted to show my nephew who is starting college how it looked(he had asked for it). The blue logo, weirdly reminded me of a time when everyone around me was j...

Thanks for posting this. Otherwise I only see posts like- "I have 2 YOE with 30LPA salary, is it less?".

This actually is the reality that most of these ZIRP era Gen-Z babies wouldn't get.
