[QUOTE="klmno, post: 414067, member: 3699"] He usually won't email them. And he conveniently forgets previous directions- even if they were just a few hours ago. He won't read or respond to half the emails he gets, whining that it's just too much for him to keep up with. He has directed me to put a report together and at another time, a list together, and both times asked me to email them to him so he could send them out. Then, he never sent either out or even read them. He asked me to email him a resume for pursuit of the new contract, I did, then 3-4 weeks later asked why I never emailed it to him. He's not that stupid though- he's CYAing. he's devious. I do see what you are saying, but it's like living with a difficult child who rages and has drastic mood swings and forceful, persistent manipulation and passive agressive tendencies. I'm not trying to get the guy fired. They could fire me at any moment. If they want to, they can do it today or Monday. If they don't, someone needs to at least address the situation so boss and I can muddle threw. Will they? Slim to none chance, yes I know. But "moving on" isn't something that can be done in one week. I'm not trying to find a permanent solution here- I'm trying to get through one hour at a time with him. on the other hand, there is a point in that if no employees ever complain, then they must be happy with their supervisor so why would upper management ever look into what's really going on? If employees start letting upper management know that there's an issue with this person, they probably will ignore the first 20, but eventually, they have to start getting a clue, whether they do anything about it or not. Upper management for this company isn't even in this state so they have no clue what this guy does or doesn't do. That's a big part of the problem- but, no, I'm not trying to change that. [/QUOTE]
