Takes no interest in your work. You succeed, you make manager successful. You fail, you suck... 7. Asks about your stength and weaknesses. Now, use your weakness and press all the hot buttons... 8. Never takes risks. Always criticial and explore method why nothing new should be done. 9. Is insecure & selfish. Always worried about own job insecurity... Who cares about the employees...
