Maybe this will be a good venting place for me and others who hate their boss.
It's Tuesday and I'm angry just like I am every other day of the week at work.
Dear Pompous Jerk,
I don't think I have ever seen you do a single worthwhile task at the office. Since our working relationship began all I have seen you accomplish is:
- Place personal calls. You continually waste away the day on the phone with your siblings, parents, and friends discussing everything from "what's for dinner" to planning your next vacation.
- Surf the web (yes, I can see your monitor from the front door to your office when I stand at just the right angle.)
- Snack as though it's 'round the clock lunch break for you
- Most of the incoming calls you receive that are not your friends or family, you ignore and let it go to voicemail
- You spend enormous amounts of time focused on the most trivial things that make no difference
About 80% of your real work tasks have been delegated to outside contractors within the last year. I don't even know why you still have a job but you earn almost twice the annual pay of other staff members by doing absolutely nothing except warming your chair. You are never in a hurry to get anything done and even comment that you have all day to do nothing. Your superior treats you as though you are king of the office. Am I jealous? Maybe. I would like to know how I can land such a cushy job being an office couch potato and drive a new top of the line Benz like you without having to lift a finger.
Signed,
PO'd worker
