My new boss sucks.

[Doc_Lobster]

She's a nice person outside of work, but she is a paranoid control freak who has to know everything all the time. She even has spies. Ugh.

[jens]

Spies? Wtf? Like how?

I can't deal with micromanagers.

[Doc_Lobster]

Spies as in people who tell her what everyone is doing (when people come and go, who was spotted browsing the Internet, etc.)

Uncool.

[gretchenindisguise]

I didn't know that you work with me. Let's do lunch!

[Doc_Lobster]

Mmmm-hm.

Oh well. I like most other aspects of the job. I can put in a couple of years here and then move on.

The important thing is that I know what she's like. I can live with it even if I don't like it as long as I know what I'm dealing with.

That sucks.

I had a job once with a boss who was an evil dictator. I was friends with his assistant, and one day she let me know he had asked her to order a fancy pen for him that had a recording device inside. His plan was to leave it on the table in the break room to try to catch people talking about him. Yeah...I quit soon after that.

[Doc_Lobster]

Note to self: check for out of place pens around work.

[Bonita]

Crazy! I dislike bosses like that

Mine was like that to begin with, but over the last couple of years he's lightened up a little thankfully :-P

[WOT?*]

Do you have my old job? I'm sorry if you do. Or even if you have a boss like my former.

[kaybee85]

That sucks I had a principal who assigned a person to sit with a clipboard to record what time everyone arrived.

[AngGee]

My last boss invented the Micromanager position. She would ask me NO less than 20 times each and every day, "so, what you working on?"
UGH, so annoying!!

Needless to say, I left and now the person above me NEVER asks me anything. I guess they actually trust me to run my dept.
And it's SO much easier to run, rather than always on pins n needles!
