AGH! My boss makes me so mad

So, basically what I do is I am an admin assistant to my boss and also do the marketing for our company.

My boss has got to be the laziest person ever. He doesn't have a college degree, he is like 400 lbs, and always bitches about the dumbest stuff like how his back hurts or he doesn't want to do poo.

He never gets in until around 1030 and always leaves around 6. We prepare retirement plan proposals and most of our clients are referred from the Financial Planning Firm upstairs who we sort of report to, but they do not own our company, our headquarters are in CA.

So, last week this prospect called and I was talking to him and he informed me he had sent my boss and email and had left him a voice message and he had not yet returned his call. I promised him he would return it. That day when he got there I told him the prospect called and he gave me some bullshit like "I don't want to talk to him today" and I was like umm, so you're just not gonna return his call? This really pissed me off and the guy called me again yesterday to let me know my boss STILL hasn't returned emails/calls.

Now, this week, my boss and 2 co workers are in Cali at our corporate headquarters. I have had at least 3 people call me already this week and say he hasn't returned their calls or emails. I also have the girl upstairs emailing me asking for proposals which he KNOWS are due but hes too fuging lazy to work on while he's in Cali. I have done my part and entered the data and given him the files and told him they needed them ASAP.

Normally I wouldn't give a poo, but every client that I help bring in, I get $$ for. Its really starting to drive me crazy. I've had to apologize for him at least 5 times already this week and there's only so far I can go with being firm with him and getting him to sit down and do his fuging work.

Amazes me that he has been employed here for so long. I mean, even my co workers complain about him all the time b/c hes so fuging lazy and doesn't get back to their clients when they need to speak with him.

That's all. Just needed to vent there for a second so I wouldn't scream in the office.:banghead:

haha I can't hes been here longer than anyone in our office and somehow he always manages to make the corporate boss happy even though the corp boss knows that he is fuging lazy. I just don't get it.

p.s. corporate boss is also a huge perv. Makes a comment almost everytime I talk to him on the phone.

They are probably scared he'd file a discrimination suit against them, claiming he was fired due to his weight. He might even be operating, as it were, on that assumption and is just coasting.

sounds like you need a new job.

I have a similar problem with my boss, but he at least does his work.

I have been looking. I took this one b/c they offered it to me and I was somewhat desperate at the time. Took a pay cut coming here. Have interviewed with Time Warner, CBS, and a couple other companies lately and haven't gotten the jobs b.c they hired someone over me or don't have the approval to hire someone right now.

Had a phone interview this morning with a lady. Hopefully that pans out.

I also have the sneaky suspicion they haven't fired him b/c he is gay...

People like that survive in corporate America because they are using something as a cover. It may be they put the blame on others, falsify their work load, or have bosses that the don't have to answer to, or something. If you want to get him canned, you can document real monetary loses due to him not giving a poo and send it up the chain, such as lost clients due to him not returing calls/email.

Sounds like a fun place to work... :rolleyes:

Not much you can do sounds like other than try and deal with it... sucks that he's costing you $$$. Be careful how you deal with it... don't want to get a bad recommendation if you decide to change jobs or something...

Next time you talk to your corp boss, record his stupid ass so you'll have it on record.

He is actually there? You always say he is never in.

Hes not here until tomorrow b/c they have been in Cali. I wouldnt be fuging surprised if he called tomorrow and said he was going to take vacation b/c he is "jet lagged"

But yeah, he normally will come in and bitch about stuff and then leave b.c he "doesnt feel good" , or he just doesnt come in at all. Drives me fugin nuts. I am a very motivated/determined person and its really hard for me to be patient with him.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
