How to survive a bad manager
“Change only happens when the person wants to change.
You can make suggestions, or bring things to their attention, but people only make changes when they choose to.
It is never in your control.”.“…The worst work experiences I’ve had forced me to recognize a very important thing: work does not have to define my life.
Work can be at the center of everything if you choose, but there are many other ways to live happy, fulfilling, meaningful lives.”.See also: Right for the wrong reasons.

Planet Sinclair, by Chris Owen.
The Web’s biggest Sinclair-related archive:
Executive Calculator
“…The Sinclair Executive was the world’s first pocket calculator.
The advert described it as being “as thick as a cigarette packet”, reflecting Clive Sinclair’s stated belief that One must always bear a packet of cigarettes in mind as the ideal size.…battery life was only a few hours and the machine could be physically dangerous. If it was left on, the batteries had a nasty habit of exploding and blowing the machine to bits.”.
C5 electric car
“Possibly Sinclair’s most famous product (albeit for quite the wrong reasons).…Exactly a decade before the C5 fiasco, Sinclair was nearly brought down by another disastrous product: The Black Watch.”.
