Not my kind of boss

Photobucket
How unprofessional can one be if he should blog about how bad his boss is!!!! However, given this blog does not involve any usage of backspace and given this blog entry is just about the end of clickage between me and my boss, this blog entry contains nothing bad about my boss. Just the right kind of wrong that one can suffice and one can’t. I’m team ‘can’t suffice’!

So, the more I work with my boss, the more I know of his tricks. It’s not always easy to not appreciate tricks from bosses since it’s awesome to learn how one deals with issues. However, the way my boss deals with issues, in my opinion, does not really impress my ‘respect’ ratings for him.

So, my boss is really good at diplomacy as a verbal weapon. I’ve been pretty honest with how I feel at work and to these, he’s responded with ultra diplomacy. Honest, genuine and caring and not scared to apologize, how can any employee not like that kind of boss? He mentioned once in the meeting how he expects people in his org to learn and he does not want to spoon feed.

My boss was faced with some issues today. To me, it was his lack of follow ups and his majorly bad management skills. It’s not like he’s not smart. He’s a very smart man but when it comes to giving time, he’s very stingy and the worst is how he would never stay up to date or make time for what’s happening under him until the very end when things have gone a bit haywired. To make things worse, I’ve never felt encouraged by my boss and he’s never given an impression that he knows which pie he has poked his finger in that I was talking about whenever we have to clear things to save our asses and most importantly the whole organization’s ass.

I’m not saying he’s wrong. Maybe one can stand his type of management and I believe there are loyal people who will stick to his way of working. However, I believe that a good boss to me is someone who’s on track with things and who is able to lead with a notion of what his staffs are talking about. Yes, my boss right now does not have time but is it too much to ask to give an extra effort in giving his staffs more time?

I’m seriously thinking of looking for a new job….. sorry boss!
