URGH! Supervisors suck balls.
Except for the fact my supervisor has never sucked a ball. I’m assuming.
Ok, so I’m pissed. I try to be informed, and people get upset when I ask questions. So then I don’t ask questions, and they get pseudo-mad at me to try and reform my ways. Is my proactive nature recognized? not. Definitely not. But I press on.
This entire week has been hectic, and a supervisor that previously had been supportive and wanting me to ask questions no longer has the time nor the slightest inclination to answer. I feel the need to scream “Injustice” I say!
The problem here is the double standard – once supervisors realize you are more than competent in one area, they then feel the need to expect that level of excellence in every thing (which would be fine, if not for the fact that none of have a clue what we’re doing.) It’s been my curse with working with authority figures – almost every job I’ve had, it’s been the immediate supervisory panel rather than the head honchos that somehow don’t seem capable of connecting with their staff in a way that helps work be completed in a cohesive, comfortable, and reasonable environment. It’s not really that difficult, people. Let’s stop treating people as if they are retarded – we “underlings” only act as stupid as we think you are.
I guess we should just hope the customers don’t figure it out before your own bosses do!
