Stupid Boss

frontvisions - I do not know what type of a person ur boss is. But he would not have become boss without putting his efforts. Possibly he was not able to answer ur query/doubt. Pl erase this idea from ur mind. Otherwise u will not behave properly with him and that will bring ruptures between u two.

Yes, I do had one before. I really don't know how he landed the position as he doesn't have much experience in handling people. Maybe due to networks and relationships with the company owner and other high authority in the company. There are really some bosses who don't know what they are doing and often times the person under them are more technically gifted than they are. Don't worry, such bosses won't be able to hide the fact that they don't know anything forever.

Personally, I think often times, there are many people who have faced this type of situation. It could be that you asked a question that he was not familiar with and just getting conformation from someone else, or maybe someone would be more suited but the company chose him. Since you are newer I would just feel grateful he is trying to help you and hope you are given the Best answers from there.

I haven't had this kind of boss but you better look for someone who can be of better help to you since you're still a newbie. Try not to bother too much about your boss and just do the best you can. If you can see that he/she is slacking off the job, then other people must see it too and eventually he/she will just get what he/she truly deserves.

I used to have a boss like that. What made it difficult for her I guess was because she was new to the BPO industry. However, when you're all learning a new product, which is relatively new to almost everyone (it was for a publishing company) you are basically at par with everybody else. Boss or not. Well, seeing as how she didn't see to learn anything during training and only occupied herself with getting to know the people on the floor and crushing on the employees, we avoided her any time we had questions. When worse came to worst and she was the only team lead supervising the floor, we would suck it up, pull out our manuals, and research for the answer. When we couldn't come up with anything (while the customer was on hold, take note) we would finally turn to her, and as we knew it, she wouldn't have any answers. We would come up with resolutions only to find out that it hasn't been carried out because it's either not supported by the service, or those kinds of services were not available. It was really frustrating.

Not really a stupid boss but yes somehow similar to that. I have a different case, I had an amoebiasis so I can't get to work. I told my boss that I have high fever and diarrhea. I told her that I can't control my bowel movement anymore and I need to be confined in a hospital. But my boss says that I need to go to work no matter what. I guess she's stupid, how can I work if I can't even get out of the bed? I resigned after a week.

These morons will get to such positions by buttering. No doubt, I do have a jack@$$ boss. This @$$hole doesn't understand any thing and he thinks whatever he knows or does is correct, he is really very annoying, I am trying to change my team, let's hope I get rid of this team and this @$$hole very soon. It's been approximately 4 years now, by the way, all the best to you !!!

I can sympathize with you. I got a boss similar to yours who thinks that because she barely pass the board exams( she took it several times before she pass) she is greater than anybody else. I am not usually a very complaining kind of person but all of my office mates( except for her entourage which is just 3 to 4 people who agrees with everything she says but talks behind her back) everybody else have something bad to say about her. She is in the position that she is because no one wants it and in the place where she asked for transfer she was not accepted because of her past negative feed backs. How I wish her one year trip for training to Japan will push through come September so that we will be given the chance to be under a head supervisor that although is strict and disciplinarian, knows how to handle her people well.

Oh what a dumb boss you have there. Did you not let him see you , seeing him asking another for that particular concern? He would squirm our of shame. I think, he got that position because he has a big connection at that office. Try finding it out and someday replace him yourself.

hey..wait a minute..this sounds liek a GOOD thing actually..since u got paid without really having to do much work..thats is brilliant.. and the boss doesnt to be concern whether or not u must be doing some work..

That is such an irritating boss. As I see, he knows what to do but he is just too lazy to tell what's the proper thing to do. Just calm down for you are still a newbie in that company. You won't enjoy if you will take that situation or your boss's responses to you, seriously and personally. If problem arises, blame your boss for not having those things done for he lacks supervision on you. :D

I've had a lot of bosses who aren't as knowledgeable in their jobs as I expected them to be. I gave them the benefit of the doubt at the beginning. Most times, they are just making sure that they have the right answer before giving it to me. other times though, they really just don't know. I let it pass most times specially if my boss is easy to get along with. It's not like I can have him demoted or something. But a stupid and air head boss?!?! Now that's a different story. =D

Well those type of "boss" are mainyl related with some of the owners - friends , family , ect and they don't care how they do their job as long as they know that will get paid. Cheers

Oh man i allready change so many jobs i start to think that there is not anythink that i didnt work yet :) and most of the time i teach my bosses what to do(ofcource there is a many that i learn from them)but its very hard to find someone who really understad what he is doing and enjoy so jst get over it what can you do except being friends with him!
