My boss is impossible to work with. He’s arrogant, condescending, and passive aggressive.
He blames me for EVERYTHING even if it’s not my fault and then, when it turns out to be a glitch with the software or when it turns out to be HIS fault, then, suddenly, it was no big deal.
He has MANY MANY MANY rules that are difficult to abide by because the rules continue to change. What was okay yesterday isn’t okay today. He’ll say one thing and then say the opposite. Or he’ll claim to have told me something even though he hadn’t.
He lies and exaggerates deadlines if I need the day or afternoon off for appointments. I get no medical coverage, no benefits, no sick days, and no vacation days.

Today, we will take a look at our immediate supervisors.
There are issues. There are always issues with our bosses.
Some of the issues are worse than others, just like some of the bosses we’ve had have been worse than this one.
We can’t change our boss, but we can change ourselves.
We are adults. We can make the decision to stay or leave.
We can make the decision to transfer within the organization or not.
We can decide.
We are only stuck if we continue to believe that we are stuck. The moment we start moving towards getting un-stuck; we realize we are not stuck in cement like we thought.
We can make a change in our lives…and we will.
