I had a boss like that. He wanted a report for upper management. I could not figure out what he wanted, so I went to the upper management guy and asked what he wanted. Very nice man told me what he wanted and I had it done in 20 minutes. It was exactly what he wanted. He kept a copy but told me to run it through the chain of command. Yea, it took 2 weeks of going back and forth to get something close to what I did in 20 minutes. That is when I gave up on a career in management and went back to the shop floor and have been happy ever since.

Those economic forecasts are great for the first half of 2016. Now you’ll have to totally change it to prognosticate the second half of 2016.
