Tired of My Job

So, I’m up late, can’t sleep. I can’t stop thinking about how sick I am of my bosses total incompetance when it comes to managing or leading people.

Like today he bugs me because I have a map up on my screen of where I need to go for a drug screening. I’m in my head thinking “Hello, Jackass, I could have quit on monday you asshole…I’m sticking around as a curtesy.”

Then, I pick out all these high-end parts for a server, and he needs to review them because this is going to be a 10 grand purchase in the end for everything. So, I go into his office to talk about it, and he is like “AMD chip with a Nvidia chipset? That’s not standard.” And I’m like “What do you mean by standard.” And he responds with “You know, Intel chipset with intel processors, and AMD chipset with AMD processors.”

What a fucking dumb-ass. It astounds me how arrogant this guy can be. He just went to freaking COMPUTEX, the biggest computer show of the year, and completely missed the biggest processor launch from Intel in the last 5 years. He needs to be selling this stuff in the next year or so, and he doesn’t even know it exists, if I didn’t tell him. A while back he told a new hire that there is no such thing as a Serial ATA power connector, and we get them in the boxes for the boards we sell. But he claims all this shit as if it were truth and he is the authority on it.

Time and time again I’ve shown that I know what is going on better than he does outside of our tiny little niche market, and he still has the nerve to question me about this shit. HELLO, DUMBASS, AMD only makes chipsets to support their servers when no one else has made one, as soon as Nvidia made one they pretty much stopped making them. I mean Nvidia is basically the company that has really helped put AMD on the map in the last 5 years, but I guess you have just had your arrogant head up your ass that whole time thinking that only our little tiny niche market existed in the computer relm.

Seriously, this guys leadership potential almost amounts to the ability I have in my left toe. How do you tell someone that their emotial intelligence is shit, and that their buisness is obviously hindered primarily by their lack of ability to relinquish control to anyone besides themselves, and subsequently the companies growth has now hit a wall. And how do you explain to them that negative feedback isn’t the only kind. When I told the guy that my new company was thinking of paying for me to get my masters, he launched into this big speech about how getting a masters degree could price me out of the job market. Seriously, the guy said this to me. I’m contemplating not working very hard at all the for the next week. So far, I’ve been working pretty hard, but if this shit keeps up I’m just gonna stop. Hell most of the time I spend waiting for him or someone else to finish something so I can get “approval” for whatever I need to do next.

Oh, one more joke thing he keeps mentioning to me in little side comments is that I need to be better at communication. He says this to a guy who is constantly over-explaining things to make sure he is understood. And to top it off, I and most other people where I work, find him very hard to understand because he is vauge and doesn’t listen well when you talk to him. I’ve hard to re-explain to him at least 4 times what I planned on doing for our website. Only to have him then follow up with some comment about verbage…all while I’ve been discussing backend database improvements.

Enough of this. People need to pray for me this weekend so I can get this shit off my back and move on without feeling loaded down.
