Hey guys. Looking for advice on how to handle my micromanaging, condescending boss. My motivation is shot, why would I want to work for someone that is rude and doesn't value my work and value.

**** bosses! Been self employed my whole life. Only way to go.

Quitting the job means the lousy boss wins.

The correct answer is to take their job. No more shitty manager and a bigger paycheck.

Win/Win

Aye

The only thing that could justify this kind of poon hounding, is if his boss was an IRL version of Jen Aniston in Horrible Bosses.

First look in the mirror and make sure you're not the problem.
Just because you think you have value doesn't mean they do.

Don't quit a job before you have a job... pride feeds nobody.

If you find you aren't the problem and have a job lined up... crap on her car... or if possible, in it!

Just go to work and do your job. Plotting employees are easy to spot and you'll basically lose everything you worked for once your boss DOES fall on her face. One day a much higher up will bring you into their temp office, ask you what your feelings are about your bosses. Be prepared to give an answer that doesn't incriminate you. That's your sane option A, while option B is find a new job/start a business.

she is a female, pretty sure she is a feminist. Not hot but not unattractive. My director is also a female and a feminist, there is some serious nepotism going on here. It seems like only females get promoted or move up.

This guy is getting picked on by bitches with an agenda and this is all you got.

define 'won'??

two of those jobs i got a raise before picking a fight/quitting... i didnt want to be at either place anyway

the third... workplace bitches complaining about sexual harassment.. so i resigned instead of being fired.... while trying to pick a fight with me cuck boss.. yeah so i hung a picture of a half naked girl above the water fountain for everyone to see... it was in retaliation to these dumb bitches passing around chip and dale dancer photos for all to see the day before.. those victim bitches..

in the end though.. im in a good spot because of all my choices.. still empty and bored though.. but thats life...

FTR I went from working under a shitty manager 5 years ago, to working under a much better one, to being promoted to Manager working for a Director that is the best boss I could imagine.

So I have gotten perspective on like all levels of this situation over the last 5 years.... shitty manager, decent manager, good manager.... me being entry level -> experienced -> team lead -> manager and I've dealt with "leaders" at various levels with me at various levels.

I loathe shitty leadership and/or leadership that is apathetic/absentee to its' workers... I can and have gone toe-to-to with other managers, directors, and even senior VP leaders to protect my team and I never ask them to do anything I cannot understand/explain/perform myself if the need arises. I lead by example and I follow thru when I say I will push back for the good of the team.

All that being said I do expect alot of my team and I will chew them out if they don't do their job well.... Clone works for me lol he can attest.

So you encourage your employees to use company time to cruise CCS.

At least I can monitor that.... and if you've basically ever worked in your life, you know everyone needs that outlet to fill dead time (waiting for SQL queries to run) or just to relax throughout the day.

Some people read news/sports.... some people post on boards like me and Clone... some people obsessively check Facebook.... as long as the work is getting done, I don't mind people having some distractions.... they are human beings, not fucking robots.

Everyone needs an outlet or it'll just be lots of

I'm willing to take that risk. If my wife is your boss, then you have my additional sympathies.

Then you both know what it's like to be underneath her.

Find a better job and tell him to **** off on your way out.

I've been on the receiving end of that ****-you on the way out on several occasions. Not a good idea to burn the bridge, there is only downside.

Inevitably, most of them subsequently need me for something. I tell HR when an employer checks reference on the departed, i ask them to route the call to me so I can personally describe the F-U behavior on the way out.

Or, we get credit checks all the time for these guys when they apply for a mortgage or rental, and at that time they regret acting stupid on the way out. It's not worth it.

By law aren't you only allowed to say what you last paid them and if they are rehire eligible? I thought that was all the information that a previous employer was allowed to divulge...
