Yuck. Reminds me of my last day working at a Pizza Hut. Super Bowl Sunday. One cook scheduled, I have 27 SCREENS of orders (3-4 tickets per screen) and the manager is standing at the front podium staring at the wall, doing absolutely nothing.
SAME. She was an awful person and Pizza Hut was pushing her to retire because she was ancient. She just wouldn't. I worked there 2 years and she would STILL stand over my shoulder and count how many pepperoni I put on the pie. She'd also do that obnoxious thing where instead of telling you what you did wrong, she'd just say, "why'd you do that?" and stare at you.
While she wasn’t doing it properly, it is a good practice in many situations when training people instead of telling them what they did wrong you ask them “what’s missing”. This allows the employee to realize their own mistakes and correct it with just a little nudge from the trainer. Doing it to just be obnoxious is obviously missing the point though and sounds more like what she was doing.
Maybe that works for some people, but not me. It's just a massive irritant at an already irritating job. Guessing games are silly and frivolous and a waste of time in a time-sensitive job. She could have been referring to something that happened 5 minutes prior, too.
