‘Math isn’t an exact science’
33 Times People Realized Their Boss Was a Complete Idiot

It truly is disturbing to come to the conclusion that your boss is an idiot. I’m not talking about hearing them say something stupid either — we’ve all done that. I mean witnessing something so mind-numbingly dumb that you find yourself stunned that this person makes more money than you do. One Redditor came face-to-face with his manager’s idiocy when he drove a power drill through his hand for the third time. Another Redditor’s manager spent so much money on art for the office that they couldn’t make payroll. 

Other Redditors have vented about their moronic bosses, and if you’re the vice president of a company, you should definitely know that math is an exact science.
