Manager are not expected to make mistakes but as you all know that humans make mistakes.  Yes they can make mistakes but not expected to make them because of their experience in that professional field you should leave no room for mistakes.  It is bad business and doen't set a good model for your co-worker's or employee's to think that is ok but it does happen the outcome can be at a loss of monies.

Not all bosses are like that.  Sometimes they need to be though because if someone who works for them screws up, they get into trouble with their boss or if it is their business they endure financial hardship because of the person's screw up.  Essentially, it is their job to make sure things are done right and if they have incompetent people working for them, things are frequently done wrong.

Even if you plan out everything in advance there are still going to be mistakes. A typo in someones code or just something nobody had thought of before comes up.

As with ALL managers, REMEMBER your people !!!!!  They are what make you strong,   Depend on their knowledge, listen to them, don't be over-bearing.\n\nYour people know more about  their job than you do.  Listen to them.  Don't be too proud to ask them why they do what they do.  Let them explain it to you.....LEARN from then.  Respect them!!!!!

No.  The company employer just did what was agreed.  The problem lies on the malaysian manager who turn out to be not really qualified to handle the job.  That's why, there's a great imbalance between amount paid against his contribution to the company.

Much depends on the size of the company.  Follow employee rule (hand book).  If you are able to write warnings and such, do so.  At the same time, you must follow and comply with all the rules.  Management should set the example.

Sympathy, but then again I am one, so I should have sympathy. Yes we do make mistakes. And it is so easy for everyone to point their finger at us. So be it. Part of the job. Collina said it best.... It is the only job where you can walk out onto the pitch among 20,000 people...... and still be all alone.

Think of anything and everything that can go wrong and anything and everything that people might be bothered by and address those issues.  Always have a contingency plan (like if it rains, like if somthing is not in stock...)  Make a list of everything that has to be done...start planning way before the event.

it depends if you are foreign or if you are a national. It depend which country you are in. It depends if you are in an EU member state or not.\n\nThe manager should know basic employment law like this, and s responsible, along with his employee if he breaks the law. Ignorance is not an excuse.
