I had the very unfortunate and dismal experience of getting to know Lanny for a brief time. In my experience with him he came across as very prejudiced and rude. He kept using rude and biased insinuations to make me feel stupid; also, he used mixed messages to frustrate me even when he did not know me well enough. This indicates to me that he has some problems with prejudice and bias: I believe that interferes with him making the correct decisions. After a single conversation with him I was already irritated by his unprofessional blithering, blathering, and whining about unimportant, frivolous, trivial, and petty issues. He comes across as a corpulent whiner more than a confident manager.
He wasted my precious time with his yammering and doublespeak. He needs to learn how to conduct himself in professional manner that invested in not wasting anyone's precious time instead of misleading those in vulnerable situations with his passive-aggressive doublespeak, prejudicial biases, and irritatingly insecure mixed messages.
My advice includes for him to stop being a prejudiced bump on a log: try being honest, organized, and prepared with everyone who he comes into contact with. Do not waste people's time who you already know you do not like. Do not use rude and prejudiced insinuations and passive-aggressive blithering and mixed messages. Most people do not have time for ill-prepared and passive-aggressive bumps on a log.
I will not go into too much detail because I want this to be anonymous. But he came across as a snobbishly arrogant waste of space. He is rather corpulent, rotund, and stumpy; therefore, he has no business being so judgmental, prejudiced, and difficult to me. If anyone has problems with him there is always EEOC.
