The Bad Boss

I was working in an office building.  The floor was all white and there were grey boxes that came up out of the floor at regular intervals.  The grey boxes were printers that printed out information.  It was my task to make sure the printers kept printing by scheduling print jobs to different printers.  I had the schedule worked out so that there was some idle time at the beginning of the run but then all the printers started at once.  The end result was the work got done faster.  My supervisor made me change the schedule to get rid of the idle time at the beginning so it appeared we work working more efficiently but in reality it took longer to get all the work done because of the changes he made me do.  I did it anyhow because I was getting paid by the hour.
