Stupid Bosses

My Boss likes to preach that she doesn’t “micro manage”. This is her was of saying, I approve time off and talk on the phone all day.

I took a salaried job which means u can work 35 hours, 40 hours, or 60 hours, but get paid for 40 regardless. (for those of u lucky enough not to know). I was told that this was a few extra hours a week during our busy times. turns out it is a MANDATORY 12 hours a week. It comes with the territory, but the bad part is that u NEVER get to work under 40 hours because she makes you make up any time missed.

So, I started a new job several months ago. I was happy with the move and thought I had finally found a place where incompetent and neurotic people were gone. Unfortunately not so.

Turns out my boss is an idiot. Sure, he knows a small portion of the overall scheme of our little department, but has absolutely no idea what my part is. (and I do have one, mind you!)

My boss is a real asshole. He never does anything wrong so he thinks. He think he’s the best boss ever since last year he “allowed” me to take two days of vacation in succession. I’ve been working for this guy for two years and its the first time he lets me take two days back-to-back. He always makes it look like he’s doing me a favour for “allowing” me to take time off.

Boss comes into work, goes into his office without a hello, closes the door and locks himself inside (!), cackles occasionally, making no other noise. A quick dash out to the driveway to peek into the window finds him on the sports site of a major newspaper. Binoculars confirm it: turns out he’s been listening to hours of football podcasts while he’s supposed to be available…open door policy and transparency and all that.
