Sometimes you get good bosses, sometimes you get bad. When they're good, they're cool and your life goes well.... when they aren't you end up wanting to push their head through their desk and dance on their head wearing hobnail boots.

Do you like your boss or are they just a twat?!

Shouldn't you tell us about your boss first phat fairy? From the sounds of it, you either have a very tolerant, laid back boss, or a raving tyrant who watches your every move...

Often, the main reason people hate their bosses is that they resent the fact they have achieved a higher position than they have. They usually think they can do a better job as well.

Most bosses I know have indeed worked very hard to get where they have and have normally shown talents that have resulted in successful business.

Bosses are usually percieved as lazy, this is true in many cases but essentially they are there to make big decisions and oversee things. The higher people go up in management the more people answer to them and the less people they have to answer to, the less they have to do. Thats just the way it is!

Management by delegation.

In the words of a great boss....

I'll leave that with you!

I will agree with that statement if you remove all occurances of the word "most" and replace it with "only a few"

When you say "Bosses are usually percieved as lazy" and the info that follows, is that a pre written come back for when you get called lazy?

Just wondering as it seemed a very complete answer as though this is something you have contemplated before.

Assuming you're not being sarcastic, I'll just say you've never met my boss, or most of the bosses in the civil service. For the uninitiated, working at within a certain Government Department is like last chance saloon for many people. Much of the work force is made up of people who wouldn't last 5 minutes in private companies, and I'm sorry to say that I'm fast becoming one of those people. Working for a total of about 5 years in an organisation that doesn't give a shit how rubbish its employees are, and hence most of those employees being massive wastes of electricity, oxygen and many other vital commodities, doesn't provide the greatest motivation. I'm now just biding my time until I can wave the v's at everyone in about 5 months. Can't wait.

As far as managers go, I'll stand by what I said about my manager being a twat, and I know for a fact I could do a better job. This isn't jealousy, but it is resentment in that I resent the fact that somebody who is a complete waste of space is (not) doing a job I could do with my eyes closed and getting about £7000 more than me for doing it. Does it matter that they're never here, claim way more leave than they've earned, pull constant sickies and doesn't have a clue? No, because their manager, like much of the Department, is such a farking wet lettuce that he can't and won't be arsed to do anything about it. Meanwhile, much of your hard earned tax money is paying all their wages. And it's paying my wasted wages too, because I'd rather escape from it all, and risk not being disciplined properly, by coming on this forum than 'working' alongside all the farking morons here.

Sorry Rich, I couldn't help it.

I see and take on board your point Jimbob.

Obviously management within the private sector is slightly different from that in the public sector. Bosses in the private sector are mainly judged on one thing. How much profit they make. Simple. If you fail this then you fail at everything.

From your 'rant' it seems that noone is held accountable for results in your department. This will obviously cause mismanagement and disharmony amongst staff whereas if a private company is making money then the staff are usually working together.

It is harrowing to learn that my tax is being wasted in this and many other ways especially as the civil service is such a vital part of government.

one reason why it seems that people do not get promoted is because the current management fear for their jobs, therefore they promote complete tw*theads that couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. They can then sleep at night knowing their pathetic, worthless job is safe...
...and then there's people who are just plain god damn lucky...eg coming in to money, buying a business, and thinking that cos it's their business they know best...
I'm sure a couple of people here know the tail end of this story :)

Haha. I have a whole host of business cliche's. The corporate management meeting can be very entertaining if you want it to be!

Here are a few of my favourites business terms I've picked up over the years.....

Adminisphere:
the rarefied organisational layers beginning just above the rank and file. decisions that fall from the "adminisphere" are often profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve. this is often affiliated with the dreaded "administrivia" needless paperwork and processes.

assmosis
the process by which some people seem to absorb success and advancement by sucking up to the boss

alpha geek
the most knowledgeble and technically profficient person in the company

band aid
Quick temporary fix, which when it works is left in place as it's too expensive to fix the problem permanently

blamestorming
sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible

flight risk
Employees who are suspected of leaving the company soon

mushroom management
keep everyone in the dark

ohnosecond
that minuscule fraction of time in which you realise that you've just made a big mistake (e. g. you've hit 'reply all')

seagull manager
a manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves

stress puppies
moaning insecure workers

testiculating
waving hands around and talking b*llox
