issues with BOSS at WORK... what would you do?

[madbomber31]

what would you do if your place of employment was set up like this:

A- boss
B- asst. boss
c,d,e,f,g- employees
h-z customers

and this stuff happened

A does not show up on time and often doesnt even come in to work, however claims on payroll he worked.

A also does not handle situations with the customers at all, he basically ignores them hoping any situation will solve itself. A puts a lot of blame on B for late reports, though reports were completed by B on time and A just didnt do his part.

A misses meetings with customers with no explanations whatsoever.

A undermines B whenever something doesnt go smooth..


if you were B, would you put things in writing to give to a regional manager? or would you just say "fuck it, it's work and thats what happens"

I would put the truth and recommend that they fire his ass and give you the job. Take advantage of other people's mistakes and stupidity.

my director was like that at my last job. I worked there for a year and out of that whole year if you added up all the days he actually put a full 8 hours in it was 15 days. He'd show up once a week and stay for 2 hours (if that) and the whole 2 hours was spent in his office playing solitaire on the computer or looking up cooking recipes. The time he took off was to attend cooking competitions in other states. Yet he was pulling in a pretty hefty monthly income and getting a usual bonus while other co workers had to strugle or get yelled at by the head supervisor. I finally called him on it and for treating other staff like complete shit. The day i quit he was there for 3 hours instead of his normal 2 hours. So i laughed and said wow i bet you're counting that extra hour as over time huh? I clocked out and told him to fist himself. That was the best day in a long time!

Tell the truth to corperate.
No need to have a worthless piece of shit around

is he the owner? If he is then too each his own. Personally I work 80% of the day with my guys and then leave 2 hours early to record materials used/ordered and receipts. If he has to answer to someone then you should make a daily log of what he does or doesn't do for 30 days. Maybe even print off his interenet history and send that shit to the uppers. You could also have every employee sign the daily logs so it doesn't look like your trying to get his job in a malicious manner.

 

[madbomber31]

no, he is not owner... he's just a building director who's father in law EVERYONE on this board is familiar with (maybe not the man but the company)... which is the hold up, i wonder if any action would be taken when it comes down to it.

 

[biteme]

No. I would decapitate him.

 

[bignate73]

document it for a while, especially the missed opportunities with customers. nothing will fire up corporate more than losing face in front of customers.

 

[ponyfitness]

Yup. Build up records of bad service and ESPECIALLY when he's getting paid for hours he's not there - that's stealing to most companies and grounds for dismissal immediately. Just make sure you have proof and take it to the higher ups. I'd say screw him and take his job like someone else said.

 

[biteme]

Kill him!

Ignore it, or move on. Maybe if it's a public company, send a heads-up to auditors, or shareholders.
When it comes to family, a lot of rich guys will put up with lazy ass family members, just to shut up other whiny ass family members.

 

[biteme]

kill him twice!

 

[madbomber31]

ah, to be clear... his father in law has nothing to do with this company, he only has money that he could donate as it's a non profit... the customers are children and their families, not paying customers in a retail sense...

and it's not me who is having the issues, it's my wife with her boss.

i actually worked with her boss for a while and though he was NEVER there, i liked him as a person but not a coworker. i'm indifferent to this situation, which is why i had little good advice for her.. i basically said, "if it were me, i wouldnt do anything"..

 

[mustang_00]

and when you're done killing him. kill him again!

 

[biteme]

and when you're done killing him. kill him again!

Fuckin' A. And then kill him again!
