Hi,

In December my big boss had a meeting, announced that she wanted the immediate boss gone, and let people vote for the replacement boss. They our first day back to work, the big boss changed her mind. This is ridiculous.
We are still stuck with with my awful immediate boss. Morale is worse that it ever was.


I emailed Human Resources and will follow up with a phone call when I wake up Wednesday. HR helped back in August when I had a problem with the two bosses then. I feel that I am going to straighten out the mess that the big boss created. Also, I am going to offer the big boss a compromise.

Good luck Mari. I hope you can get this straightened out.

Sounds like the big bose doesn't like to hurt peoples feelings to me.

It can be very difficult to fire someone these days.

People tend to sue or threaten to. It may be that the "big" boss has no choice!

At the HMO I worked at in the past, our intake person was making the most horrible errors, over and over. Some were life threatening. My supervisor kept all of them in a file, and finally fired her. There were hundreds of errors in that file over a short time frame! She sued the HMO and there was a trial even!
It was a huge big deal! In the end the judge gave her what for and she lost her bid. (she was close to retirement, and she lost that too-- she should have gone out on disability because of her health issues).

The stress on us and the supervisor and all the time taken to document and attend the trial was huge!

The immediate boss bullied the big boss into letting her stay instead of moving her to somewhere else where she can do less damage.
The big boss is a moron for letting one person mess up an entire dept.

My appt. is at 10:30. I have another meeting at 11:00. I want to look fine (no crying) when I get to the 11:00 meeting.

The last time I was in HR, the head made me feel better and solved the problem. She is good at her job.

M.

the best of luck

Me too, i have been wondering.

Hi,
The HR meeting did not happen. First a bit of scheduling mess by HR. Next, I was supposed to reschedule but did not check my phone messages until over a week later.
'My work buddy told me to reschedule because he says I need to respond to the letters of reprimand, bad evaluations, and such in the file from the immediate boss. Work is so depressing. I avoid dealing with it as best I can except when I have to help work buddy deal with administration.
After he took on my role when I quit some duties, he has consulted me by phone or email daily -- sometimes several times a day. I explain things to him. He calms me down.
