Bosses to avoid if possible

The work situations I have been in where relationships have completely broken down have all had two things in common:  the main one is that the "boss" had to control every aspect of me and work, this seemed to validate their sense of being a "boss"; the second thing which is destructive is they do not listen.

What have you noticed about the impossible boss?

      There's a lot of disfunctionality out there.

    Absolutely!!

    The problem with being a techie, Easy, is that non-techies don't know how much work goes into it, and how much knowledge you need.  The easier software is to use the less they apreciate the work behind it. The only time you get appreciated is when you get someone out of a hole. They can then be very appreciative of something that took five minutes, and take for granted something that took weeks of work.

    I read of someone who used to work in graphics and got fed up of clients complaining of the price because they found it hard to believe just how long the work had taken. So she changed to doing office work that people could do themselves but if they could deligate it to a compitent person it would free then to do other things - that they apreciated and would pay for. It was something they understood the value of.

    People with power and money value people that have their way of looking at things. Having skills or abilities is almost incidentental to "getting on", and many people with skills and abilities don't get on at all.
