angry robot

A boss or manager that is highly tuned in their extremely specific field, but is incapable of engaging in communication outside of their realm of expertise. Automated answers are generated in most cases, until they are presented with an email/question from an insubordinate that requires thought outside of the levels of programming. Angry Robots tend to be condescending when approached by an email/question to which they have no correct response.

The Angry Robot will then either shut down completely and close their office door, or immediately grab a handset and remain on the phone for the next 2 business days. Angry Robots also expect everyone within shouting distance to have the ability to read their robot mind.

Oh my gosh, Mike is such an Angry Robot. Our office is falling apart. He never responds to my emails, and if i knock on his door...he glares at me like i am a fool for approaching him and wasting his precious time.
