A guy at work...


So I am 24 years old, my dad owns a manufacturing business that at some point I am going to take over. I've been working here for almost a year. I'm pretty far from the "taking over" step at the moment, though.We have this guy at work who is a top level manager and our head sales guy. He late middle aged guy who works hard and has good intentions. The problem is, he is a buffoon when it comes to anything related to English grammar and design. I don't mean that he makes small grammatical errors. I mean that he prints marketing materials that are formatted like this:"BUY our prODUCT !"and they'll often times be in things like comic sans or be designed in microsoft paint.He will print maybe 5000 copies without running it by my father. I've talked to him about it before and he always gets very defensive and doesn't keep me in the loop on what he's making next anyway. It is really embarrassing for me to randomly find these marketing materials all the time because they are a representation of my future company and when people look at this shit they will laugh at us. In his defense, we are a small business and so his argument (which has merit) is "if I don't do it, no one else will" and yes, sometimes that is perhaps better than not having the marketing ad at all. Anyways, what do I do about this guy? via /r/business https://ift.tt/2r7zDM4
