Well where to start with!!! This boss of mine has just taken over and in doing that he had gone through all the presentation of everyone. In doing that he went through my presentation too wherein I had put up my ideas. I found out recently that he had stolen my ideas. Not only that, whatever I implement in my department he has got to project it as his idea and get happy over it. He demoralises me by telling me that in this world the man with all kind of weakness is me and that i have no scope of improvement. That i am useless and that its only he who is able to handle me. He listens to the entire story, gets the jist of it and projects as if its only his effort that the entire story has come out…….. I just don’t understand how can he do that….. I think he has forgotten that we too are humans. He needs to be reminded of that!!!!!!!! A powerful punch on his nose would do him some help to start with.

I work for a public college.

My field is highly technical. My immediate supervisor is a former parking attendant. It takes years to gain the knowledge to work in my field. I have no idea how she got the job. Of course, she does not know what the hell she’s supposed to do.

She pisses me off because:

She works only 7 hours a day but is required to work 8. She watches the clock when I come in about five minutes late.

Everyone in the office works only 7 hours a day. They get to pick the time they want to come in.

She would not let me pick my time.

She takes about ten smoke breaks a day plus coffee breaks.

She was supposed to be fired years ago but her boss is protecting her because he’s just like her.

When things are not going for him in his personal life, he takes it out on us. He is always checking on us (which I don’t mind), but he’ll either sneak up on us or watch us from a distance hiding behind the racks. Than he’ll pop out of nowhere and look at his watch and look at us without even saying a word. The next day, he’ll move us to another department and give us the silent treatment. Other times he’ll just stand there and stare at us without saying a word. When ever his football team loses, where it be college or the NFL, he is in a bad mood. But when his team wins, we’ll hear about it all day from him. And if his team loses, he’ll say, “We are at work. We are here to work and talk work, not football.” When he gets upset, he’ll grunt and bite on his teeth screaming obscenities through his teeth. One time he kicked the door and threw the phone at the wall. He got rid of his secretary because as he says it, women have no place in the shop. Everytime we work overtime, its always mandatory. When we asked why he doesn’t go ask around the guys for volunteers before he makes it mandatory overtime, his comment was, “That way I don’t have to ask”. His personal life is in shambles. His second marriage only lasted a month and a half. He left his 9 year old daughter at home while he was at work. When the boss checked his voice mail, I could hear her crying and saying that she was scared to be alone at home. When ever a deliverer comes to work, and if its a female, he won’t allow us to sign the paper work. He’ll meet her outside before she has a chance to walk inside to the receiving clerk. He once got punched on the forehead by another employee for pointing his finger in the employee’s face. He is known among the plant and in the front office as, “psycho, whiner, baby, mama’s boy, redneck, cry baby, ticking time bomb, communist,german secret agent, etc

So, my manager has some narcissism issues that provide me with some of the best cocktail hour stories around. It’s also really sad, though, so during the times when I am not frustrated with her, I do have some sympathy for her. An example:

One of my manager’s favorite things to do is to come into my cube and talk for a half hour about herself, regardless of what I’m doing or how busy I look. One day, just to get a respite from her nonstop chattering, I decided to interrupt her to get her out of my cube. So, randomly I said, “Have you seen my new wallet?” She looked at me, blinked a couple of times and said, “Have you seen mine?”

When I said no, she ran into her office (literally ran), brought the wallet out and showed it to me. I said, “Is that a new wallet?” She said, “No, it’s two years old.”

Whaaa?

More that that, though, to make sure I didn’t try to get any attention with my wallet, she went to everyone’s cube in the department, showing them her two-year-old wallet.

She’s seriously mental. I realize it could be worse, though, so as long as I nod and smile, I can get through most days. I’m sure a lot of people out there can relate to the MeMe’s.
