You must work for the same company I used to work for. ;^)
That happened to me, too.
What style of martial arts do you teach?
LOL, the work place is war, just a different type of combat, sometimes you just have to fight those battles.
If one is in a dead end job, get those feet to walking. OTOH, if one can produce proven results and profits for the company, one can somewhat impose their will for changes.
Company I am now retired from, I quit twice and was fired three times. Brought or came back each time, those 20% annual raises over the years did a lot to ease things, and pains.
To me, a boss must first have self-respect. Through this, he'll earn the respect of those in his/her charge. So many 'Bully' bosses just have no respect for themselves. This is why they lie and cheat....it makes them feel like crap but, they hate themselves anyway so they feel they deserve the negative feelings. In short, insecure bosses fear their subordinates, then they those such things that create what they fear. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.
In my opinion, 70% of bosses at big corporations are probably in way over their head.....working up the political ladder rather then becoming experts in their field.
In his mind, he did............ but I left within minutes of the so called discussion
