> I think this is the perfect forum to do just that! (And I'm not in the least surprised, btw.) From what you've said about her thus far, she's not the best boss on the block....
Heh, heh! You're not lying!! I've talked before about how everything is fine unless I make a mistake (as is normal in the human race). The way she responds is just so over the top! In the midst of a crazy time, one of my people had to remind me to send her a document, although in my defense it wasn't completed yet because other contributors were late. I got a message today from my boss saying, "just to be clear, you are to turn in blah, blah, blah, when blah, blah, blah. This has not changed, we have always done it this way". I replied, "As I usually wait until the document is complete, and this one wasn't, I didn't forward it to her. However in the future, I will keep in mind that I need to make sure this person gets the info even if the other people involved are late". She replied, "We have never waited until this document was complete. This is not something to keep in mind, it is the procedures we go by." That's a rough retelling of it anyway. I was livid!
We're supposed to have a happy hour with another dept on Friday. Man, the last thing I want to do is spend MORE time with her! I do like the people in the other dept though. Actually, EVERYONE commiserates with me. Its well known throughout the company how difficult she is. I'm just at a loss. I can put up with ALOT of crap (and have!), but even I have my limits!
> there is something to be said for being unemployed (?) Did I really just say that??
I'd love to be unemployed if I could... you know, actually avoid living on the street or something. Besides, 'you're' not exactly unemployed with you new business!! You are a bonafied entrepreneur!
