I have a great supervisor. She scored a 93% on the first link. The job we do is extremely specialized and at times can seem pretty complicated. Right now I'm reviewing our policy manual to make sure everything is accurate and up to date. It involves a lot of legal research. When I first got the assignment, we sat down and discussed how it would be done. She agreed with my approach and so far is very satisfied with the result. She's fair and always open to other ideas. Whenever there's a question or a problem, she's right there to help.

I envy you right now I've had good bosses in the past. Perhaps the future holds more.

Unfortunately, those of us in the workforce have had to work under some nasty losers. A few years back I had the supervisor from hell. No matter what I turned in, she'd send it back several times for different things, constantly told me how bad my work was, how difficult I was to work with, and how dissatisfied our Assistant Director was with my work. Well, several times the Assistant Director would ask me to do something directly for her, skip over the supervisor and bring the completed assignment directly to her. They were all consistently signed off and out the same day, if they came back at all it was for a typo or minor edit. Supervisor would get really mad when that happened and I finally told her if she didn't like it take it up with the Assistant Director. She (supervisor) made several offensive and insulting comments to me about things that had nothing to do with work, once about my religious beliefs. After a few years with this one, the unit was disbanded and I was reassigned to another supervisor who often said I was his Ace Worker. I never had the problems with any supervisor, before or since, that I had with her.

Nobody should have to go through the things you are right now. I don't doubt for a moment that you're good at what you do. There is a fantastic boss out there just waiting for you to come along. Please know you have my complete support. Don't hesitate to pm me if there's anything I can do to help you get through.

I am no longer working, but I did the "rate your boss" on the boss I had when I retired. She got a 60. Every one of the questions should have had a "it depends on the bosses mood" since that would have been my answer for each one! That's how she was - seems her policies changed on a daily basis - what was right today, would be wrong tomorrow. No one could win for lose with her, and I really felt sorry for other people in the department, since I was actually her favorite, and if I could have gladly strangled her on a daily basis, I can only imagine how some of the others felt and were treated - the ones who sat back and took it and didn't tell me what they were going thru.

I feel bad for anyone that has to put up with such crap. I feel your pain and frustration.

I DO NOT miss working - not one single bit!!!

I am a boss. And I have a boss. Who has a boss.

I have had good bosses and great bosses and crappy bosses.

I have had great employees, good employees and crappy employees.

Do you know how difficult it can be to get rid of crappy employees? Without being sued? Or shot?

But I cannot imagine Employee Hating Links...
