Ok, this is a question - but quite a lot of ranting is incorporated, so i'll say sorry in advance.
What irritates you about your boss? Now's your chance to vent!
My boss is a complete prat. He storms around the office complaining and saying "I'm the manager!!, I'm the manager!!" but then he runs away squealing when ever something goes wrong and tries to blame everyone else. He always wants credit for reports I've worked hard on, when he's literally just glanced at them and made a couple of pedantic suggestions about formatting.
He has the communication and organisational skills of a demanding toddler. He asks me if i'm busy, to which I reply yes, then he just says "Are you? Well drop what you're doing and stuff some envelops and do a mail shot for me." The same goes when he wants a cup of tea or a jug of water.
He has such a power trip and always tries to use petty things against the rest of us to make us feel stupid or incompetent.
Even when he's on holiday, he doesn't trust us to get on with the tasks at hand - He actually phoned me from New Zealand just to make sure I remembered that I had to attend a meeting in his place!
The man's a clown, he just has to go!!
