Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yes, it's that time of year when my definition of 'cold' undergoes severe recalibration. Yesterday, barely in the 20s, I wore a t-shirt & a sweater, with a hoodie thrown over it out to the store. Two months ago I would have been bundled like an Eskimo.
(Yes, there were pants and shoes involved.)
It is 15 here, and I am SO HOT!!!
I think the heat in the office has finally kicked in, though.
No imaginary boyfriend showed up, so sadly I am at work.
I think the thing that bugs me most about my boss is that he assumes conspiracy and the worst from people ALL.THE.TIME. And it is all people, his employees, his bosses, his peers - EVERYONE. He sees an action and he makes up (and performs for you) this whole scenario of what the person thought or said to get there - usually involves the person being lazy or wanting to do a favor for someone NOT HIM, or being stupid. So belittling and screwed up.
So belittling and screwed up.
People like that should not be in management. How does that help the company at all?
It doesn't. everyone hates him.
So maybe he is not wrong! Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean everyone isn't out to get you!
Seriously, I have no idea how some people become bosses.
One year positions are the devil. If I had 3-5 years experience at something, I would only apply for a one-year position if I were desperate.
I know, it's true. I think we're going to end up using the money for a consultant instead.
I mean, I had a boss who was rude and mean to us when we made mistakes (seriously, she would send us feedback emails cc-ed to the whole department saying things like, "You should know this by now, and it makes us look stupid when you forget it"), which also isn't awesome for the company, but at least it wasn't flat-out paranoia and made-up conspiracies (because we did indeed make mistakes, because everyone makes mistakes [including ex-boss, who would fly into a rage if we ever tried to point out even one of her MANY mistakes]).
oh yeah, DO NOT point out a mistake to him. I challenge him, but only backed up with facts and proof, so if he didn't need me, I am sure he would be working to get me out.
oh. I just found out that his boss took away one of the areas my boss was over.
