refuses to purchase tools that would make job easier
plans huge upgrade of client devices first thing Monday morning rather than Friday evening
licenses one of the least effective security tools to save money
forces an over-reliance on Google apps despite Drive having shit search capabilities
makes you get A+ certified even though you’ve been in the industry for many years before allowing pursuit of higher certs
says “happy Monday” every week as if that isn’t soul-draining
thinks we have a great culture because we declare “beer o’clock” on a Friday every few months and end early
talks loudly in an open office when he take phone calls
plays shitty music when he gets control of the stereo hooked to an old computer
mandates back to office as the pan is winding down and then let’s all of management not come to the office on the first day back
can’t understand why this angered workers

It manages that plans upgrades on Monday are a godsend unless you like working OT while having access to b-team vendor support.

My first thought when reading the OP was "Who the hell touches anything on a Friday evening? That sounds like a good way to end up working the entire weekend."

Friday upgrade: A handful of people call with problems on Monday morning.
Monday upgrade: Everyone is angry that they can't meet deadlines (the install started when they turned on their computers).
I should have mentioned that I'm thinking of two industries with hard deadlines.

Bro, I worked for a company that literally offered us and non-technical staff a coding boot camp. I asked if I could be promoted if I did the boot camp since they were offering it to people a level above me. I already knew everything in the boot camp, as did everyone I worked with. They refused. But, then they also laid my team and I off a month later and some how kept all the people that did the boot camp. It made no damn sense. It’s like the higher ups had no idea what a boot camp was, but thought it would be cutting edge and innovative if it was offered. They were clueless. Meanwhile, they cut everyone with those skills.

It would be like a construction company replacing a team of carpenters with some people who took a weekend woodworking course.
It takes a special kind of clueless to think they would be remotely equivalent.

- talks loudly in an open office when he take phone calls
That one's my least favorite. Might as well just grab me by the shoulders and shout your conversation in my face for how little work I'm getting done.

He had us replace call center switches without telling them first. Call center.

Getting less programmer_humor and more "I didn't get the promo" angry vibe from this.
-
Also a lot of “works for a small company” vibes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But try working for a big company. Most of these complaints aren’t your “IT Manager”s fault.

I work for a school who specialises in IT. Every introduction and every graduation we have the running gag that we offer free pizza for all attending students (some other events we do this as well).
