Who was worse between Lumbergh or Stan (Chotchkie's manager)?


I thought Lumbergh was the worse, especially towards Milton.

I didn't think Stan was all that bad to be honest.

reply

Dont recall Stan, was he the Chouchkies waiter or the manager?
But Im gonna guess Lumbergh was worse

reply

That was my guess as well. The manager played by Mike Judge.

reply

Stan was the Chotchkie's manager.

reply

What's also even worse about Lumbergh is he was eating a slice of cake in front of Milton considering he knew Milton never gotten a piece of cake that he desperately wanted.

reply

LUMBERGH was a bad person. Stan wasn't too competent.

reply

While Stan was a very passive aggressive person at least he didn't come across very malicious like Lumbergh was.

reply

Some of my friends seem to think Stan was worse than Lumbergh which I have to disagree with.

reply

BUMP

reply

I don't think I could have worked for either of them.

reply

Why is that? I don't think Stan was as mean or malicious as Lumbergh.

reply

I just have a very low tolerance for certain things. But I agree with you and I actually don't even know if Stan was intentionally being mean at all. He might just have been clueless.

reply

I wouldn't like it if a manager was very picky about how I perform my duties either.

reply

Stan was an easy boss to please, as long as you have the required AND suggested amount of flair, when on the job.

reply

My vote is Lumbergh. He was a cog in the machine and being an non-empathetic boss, totally unaware of the business issues going on in his department while exploiting Milton grinds my gears. However, the actor was great at his craft projecting these negative traits on screen.

reply

Stan didn’t ask for much, just some extra pieces of flair and some enthusiasm. Why did Joanna work at that goofy burger place if she hated their theme? She should have just sought work at Flingers in the first place. No, Stan was not bad. He just trying to do his job and implement the Chotchkies brand. He sucked at doing it but he tried.

Lumburgh was evil. He tormented Milton and treated Peter like an indentured servant.
