His anger-management classes are not intended to teach him how to manage his anger, rather they are intended to teach him how to anger [the] management [of his company].
I would say they are intended to teach him how to manage his anger, but he’s doing it wrong.
I was going to formulate it as “confusing anger management and management anger” but that’s not quite right either.
Reminds me of a great line in an old British radio comedy (“Round the Horne,” if I recall correctly):
“This seems to be a very tight-knit community.”
“Oh, yes, we’ve got the tightest nits you’ll find anywhere.”
Lol.
@Powers: but HR is happy with his results, so, I’d think that HR got confused, not he.
I’m reminded of a friend who was sent to what he referred to as “charm school”: some sort of management class.
When he got back, he wrote and asked for a refund, as he didn’t feel it had taught him anything.
I posited that him making that claim was sufficient to prove that it had, indeed, failed its mission.
