Regardless of how your employee strives, a good manager is always able to prove he's lazy and stupid. The question is how to apply this know-how. This may sound funny, but are very good advices for evil managers Twisted Evil :

1. Give tasks to your employee, try to use sophisticated terms, so that he couldn't even have a clue of what you are talking about.

2. If your worker asks you to concertize certain things from what you said, show yourself surprised.

3. If your worker asks twice the same question, tell him you've already answered this.

4. Show your nervosity when explaining his tasks.

5. If you can find in his job reasons for being criticized, don't leave this opportunity, even if the mistake is little.

6. Give him concrete instructions on the task, but leave the expected results and plans unmentioned.

7. Always make the employee do the work in the way you consider best, especially if it's very long and difficult

8. Remind his deadlines

Some employees sure have to refer to their managers for the decision making process. But that slows things down.
