Thought this might be of interest to some people - a WWII manual on how to do your job as badly as possible, to help allied sympathiers wanting to sabotage their country's war effort.

Scrolling down, the "office workers" section is particularly entertaining.

What kind of asshat came up with this?

Why asshat? It was writtenas far as I can tell in the US to help train people to sabotage the German and Japanese war efforts.

True but who better to come up with ways to really bugger things up than a total asshat?

Someone got the job of writing a manual to be as annoying as possible.

This is a fair and well made point that I hadn't considered!
