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.

      Latest video I wrote is out. While I try to write with no bias, I have to say I am not 100% sure that the right guy was convicted. Let me know what you think.

      I quite literally have said multiple times this week that Bryce did not play well on Sunday. What in the world are you even talking about? Jesus Christ son, at least pretend to have a grip on reality rather than trying to constantly make yourself the victim. Hell, look at you now pretending to be victimized by poo emojis and the ignore function because of your views on the QB. I don't give a poo if you like Bryce Young and have had no issues interacting with other posters that are done with him. You, however, cannot have a difference of opinion without resorting to insults. Case in point, your very first response to me in this thread. That is what got you put on ignore and poo emoji'd: you acting like a shithead. We've had this back and forth multiple times now where you say I don't like you because you don't like Bryce, I clarify that I just don't like your engaging in bad faith and acting like a bitchy little teenager whenever your perspective is challenged. I thought that maybe, just maybe we could start the season off on the right foot and have an exchange of ideas without the weird sexual tension or whatever it is that has you all hot and bothered whenever you see my name. Clearly, I gave you too much credit. Back to the toilet you go.

      It's a QB driven league, which means that all of the parts surrounding the QB have to be in order. No OL? QB isn't going to have time to throw or be able to hand it off. No weapons? Won't matter how well they play, can't catch it for them. Bad coaching? They're not the ones designing and calling plays. Football is one of the ultimate team sports. All 11 players need to be in sync rather than one player being dominant (imo). Hell, even with Tom Brady, not a single one of his rings came without a top-10 defense on the other side of the ball or a top-10 OL in front of him. I can understand people having lost patience with Bryce, especially starting off on the wrong foot for the third season in a row. That's not an issue. The issue I have is with folks being intentionally misleading and attempting to tell other posters what they're not allowed to talk about. Considering how often Red has claimed others have done this to him it is interesting at best, disingenuous at worst for him to turn around and do the same.
