Yeah, he'll ask me to fix it and I'll say remember when I told you I was done? He's your problem now.... all you had to do was talk to him when this happened but you chose to ignore it.

Tanya, thanks for the venting. I'm heading out, I'm hoping to get some good library books. Reading is so cathartic!

Anytime darlin! Pick up something good (maybe a little naughty too! )

Klonopin works wonders on my stress. If I didn't take it,I probably would have killed a lot of stupid people by now. be seeing you

Benzo are highly addictive and like Lilith said only a band-aid. Therapy and behavior management are better solutions to anxiety and stress.

Most of the therapists I have known have been useless and nuttier than their clients. I'll stick with my Klonopin. be seeing you

Geez, Just take him to the back room and slap him around abit OK



Don't Panic!

If I ever got any positive feedback from my manager I'd faint dead away. He seems to have no clue about how to say "well done" or "good job". I have heard him on his cell talking to the main store after one of us makes a really good sale, bragging it up but not a word of praise to the person who did the work.

If we get a positive customer reply (in writing) his standard comment as he gives it to you is along the lines of "Tell Aunt June and Uncle Joe nice try"

I could go on and on and on...I have been there almost 18 months and never heard a supportive word, just how I need to have more product knowledge...anyone need to know anything about front load washers and dryers or a good recommendation about a new bed?? I readily admit that I have lots to learn but this was a huge career change for me, I know tons compared to when I started, dosn't matter though cause I don't everything!!

I love my job, I love my job, I love my job...sad thing is that I do enjoy the work just not the manager!

What would be worse.. He could be at work or training and spending his time on a dating site and writing in the forums!!
I think it would be great if we all had a job where we could get paid an wage to play on dating sites!!
jobs are just too much work

I do not take a lunch and I never turn my work in late. And I certainly don't take home court property.

But thanks for the dig.

The only difference between a wise person and an idiot......is that an idiot doesn't learn from their mistakes.......


He must be the latter .....

ddn,

I actually forwarded all the e-mails to one of his prior supervisors who now lives in another state. He told me this guy does not listen to anyone he doesn't see as superior to him. Never mind that I was trained by a brilliant psychologist with over 30 years experience...

But I was not alone in my observations, and my friend was appalled at his, how did he put it, rude unprofessionalism towards a person clearly trying to help him. That helped.

Somehow, I get the feeling that the dude doesn't see anyone as " superior " to him.

It also sounds like he is disregarding your experience and intelligence, in part, because he cannot accept that a woman could be his intellectual superior.

Yes, I have only a BA and he has his MA and is working towards a PhD.... but I was trained by a PhD, one of the best in Ohio. And my work is not clinical, and I'm damn good at it. Certainly my being less educated than he is contributes or even explains the issue. But since reading your post, there might be a huge gender issue I hadn't thought of before.

Thanks.

Ex: He asked for a discharge summary on someone currently in jail.
#1. Jails don't do discharges summaries.
#2. Even if they did, he hasn't left, so what is the point? Discharge summaries aren't completed until discharge....

I tried to tell him we needed the Intake summary .... he argued with me.

I totally agree. Thanks for your post. I dream of those maroon front loaders myself.

I won't say that wouldn't be fun. It would be fun....

Even if it's unspoken, or whether or not he is even consciously aware of it, it really does seem ( to me anyway ) that he definitely has an issue with being trained by

1) Someone he doesn't see as his intellectual equal, even though your experience and training is worth a lot more than that degree he has

2) A woman who doesn't have the degree he has

Just my two cents on it coming from an outside perspective.

I want a set in black. lol

The other day, I was a machine that was a washer and dryer in one unit.

The only problem I had with it was that it looked pretty small.

When I do laundry, I use one of those big azz washers at the laundromat that holds something like 100 pounds worth of stuff.

ONE LOAD BAYBAY!!!!! LOL

JAG.... here is what me and my friend talked about and I agree with totally...

Let him **** Up royally. Ignore it. Laugh quietly behind his back. Do nothing to help. Refuse to help when asked.

Now, normally I bend over backwards to help others, but not this turd. I think maybe he is incredibly sexist, lazy, and arrogant.

I give and receive feedback with no emotion. It's all about getting the job done.

Sounds pretty accurate, Lilith.

In cases like that there really IS nothing to be done but watch for the fall and enjoy it when it happens.
