OT: Is your boss an idiot?

[TaoBoy]

My work-life is reading like a Dilbert cartoon.

Is your boss as stupid as mine?

Go on - get it off your chest. Tell us just how stupid your boss actually is.

My boss is a bloody twit.

[fa_jing]

Mine is a useless dinosaur that is unfortunately lazy as well and completely unwilling to learn anything new. He's been a project manager for the last 20 years and basically justifies his position by picking something to complain about, sticking his nose in our business and setting arbitrary deadlines. He does nothing for his employees except share rumors, and does not faciliate the delivery of service to the client which is his primary purpose. He is also jealous of me and doesn't want to see anyone succeed.

my current boss is great. for my feelings on my previous boss, see my quote in sevenstar's sig line.

actually… my boss is a smart dude… he can be a lil long wided at times and downright dull at others… he's a good man for the job…… but I could kick his azz up and down these hallways ;) :D

[PHILBERT]

A coworker tried to pick a fight with me, even hit me 3 times (2 pushes and one strike using his shoulder) and management accused me of harassing him when I was doing my job. Even threatened to fire both me and him when all I did was my job.

3 of my bosses are really nice hot blonde girls in their early 20's... there used to be 4 hot blonds and a hot asain girl too, but two transfered :-P

[fa_jing]

Brad - so you work washing hair at the Beauty Salon? Or do you buff the nails?
:D

[Ajax]

My former boss "let me go" last summer just when I'd finished building him an online lumber trading system which was two years in the making. Gratifyingly however, the beaurocratic ass he hired to replace me ran the company into the ground. :D

[Laughing Cow]

My Boss is ok I guess.

Had worse and better.

I call this seagull management.

They come in sh!t on everything and then leave.

:D

I've just sent an e-mail to the director (one level up) informing him of the difficulties I've been having and requesting to report to somebody else. I expect to get my way as my project manager (the d!ckhead) has no relevance to my current assignment and it should be better for all involved if I am shifted to another group. I've put up with this sh!t for far too long (3 years.) This has nothing to do with the thread, purely coincidental that things have come to a head now. The time came to make a move and I am fully aware of the implications of my actions. Thanks for listening to my rant and I'll give you the scoop next week.

I call them arm-wavers - when the sh!t hits the fan, they stand around and yell and wave their arms. :D

Good luck with everything.
It's nice to hear someone is standing up for themselves!

I got the transfer to the other project manager, as well as the opportunity to vent, abeit diplomatically, to the director. Now I can concentrate on my work, for a change. Hey y'all if you have a good case make it. And I'm sure this puts my ex-manager next in line to be canned if they downsize because another complained about him before.
