I thought this was a topic in which we probably have some experience dealing with. I’ll start with my current boss.
I’ve been working under this SM for over two years now. He STILL pronounces my last name wrong and last week even got my first name wrong! He called me someone elses name a couple times and was curious as to why I didnt respond…
His main job is to quote jobs for customers and manage all 8 of us techs. More frequently as of late, he’s been having us techs make quotes for him to give to the customer (we can look up and order our own parts here) as well as have US estimate time requirements…and then proceeds to chew us out for taking too long to do the job! So I have to do my job and his AND get everything done on time? Makes things even better when I walk by his office to find him browsing the internet or even dozing off in his chair! The guy was a tech for 20 years before he got this position and doesnt seem to know ANYTHING! Although, the other day when I was replacing some u-joints, he thought he would try and tell me how to do it…like I’ve never done this before.
He also tries at every opportunity to throw another department under the bus before taking responsibility himself. He gets irritated if he catches us even talking to people from other departments.
Gimme a break! :woohoo:
The only saving grace is that the GM (an even bigger arsehole), his direct boss and person responsible for giving him the SM job, recently passed away unexpectedly and his replacement is a great guy. Hopefully things will start to change for the better.
