[QUOTE="klmno, post: 405086, member: 3699"] Ok- I'll do that with a new email address since my flakey boss knows the one I have been using. I like this job I have- well, it's more accurate to say there are aspects about it I like and the client's rep that I also work for wants to expand my responsibillities and have me work directly for him (still thru the new contract) assuming this company will get the next contract which will be for 3 years. That would be great and I wouldn't have to travel much and although I'd still make less than what I used to, I would get a little raise from what I get paid now. But check this out- this supervisor I have now is so easily threatened and whacko that he got mad when my issued computer happened to be brand new and demanded they exchange his for a brand new one. LOL! Any time someone else with this company (and all of us have a little bit different roles and are assigned to work with different client's reps even though this boss is supervisor for all of us- it's our job to keep the client's reps happy), needs access to a software or file or something, he gets mad and makes issue until he gets the same access. He doesn't need it and it has nothing to do with his role. His role as a supervisor is to check timesheets and train on basics, etc. If there's a conference call and he has to get off the phone, he tells everyone that the people working for him have to get off the phone when he hangs up. He tells people when he's out of town, to email him with any questions or necessary communication, then he NEVER responds- to ANYONE! I could go on and on but the short of it is, this guy is whacky. The people that are most educated, he treats the worse- especially if the client's rep they are working for wants to take advantage of that person's expertise and skills. But as we were all (me, 2 other employees of this company, this boss, and the client's rep boss and I work directly with) were discussing the upcoming contract, client's rep ask education level of each of us.
