Stupid CoWorkers

Why is it when coworkers become supervisors they become tyrants who micromanage and control everything? I’ve known perfectly nice people (I am a counselor after all) who have been promoted and literally become unrecognizable to those former co-workers who have the unfortunate fate of sticking around afterwards. In my most recent position as an adolescent drug and alcohol counselor for the city’s health department, I have seen it the worst it’s ever been. Is it due to working in a system that supports managers and supervisors no matter what the issue is? Is it because city workers are typically people who have stuck around in the system for so long waiting for their pension to kick in that they are bitter and looking for someone to take out their anger on? Is it because they’ve been in the trenches for so long that when they’re lifted up and given a small amount of power they go nuts with it?

Girl cuts work all the time

Hello everyone ,this has got to be the oddest situation I have been in my whole small life.I work with an MIS group that maintains servers /workstations alike and control the whole facility here at company xyz.Now let me tell you xyz is a “GREAT” company and very profitable indeed and there is an 80/20 split on the good people and the shitheads that work here at xyz.This group inhouse is managed by staff in another state (Which are great people and strong management)but are being snowjobbed and do not know it by a staff member here at xyz.This individual comes in late ,leaves early anywhere from 1-4 hours almost every daY (Especially Fridays …. Anyhoo this does not directly effect my position until management comes to me and asks where is so and so ?

Stupid Bosses

Well where to start with!!! This boss of mine has just taken over and in doing that he had gone through all the presentation of everyone. In doing that he went through my presentation too wherein I had put up my ideas. I found out recently that he had stolen my ideas. Not only that, whatever I implement in my department he has got to project it as his idea and get happy over it. He demoralises me by telling me that in this world the man with all kind of weakness is me and that i have no scope of improvement. That i am useless and that its only he who is able to handle me. He listens to the entire story, gets the jist of it and projects as if its only his effort that the entire story has come out…….. I just don’t understand how can he do that….. I think he has forgotten that we too are humans. He needs to be reminded of that!!!!!!!! A powerful punch on his nose would do him some help to start with.
