[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1145258, member: 4886"] 30RedWonka; I agree with LongtimeComing, that is typical old school mgmt mentality, and I agree with LTC's opinion. Most likely, nothing really will be done with your boss if you go to H.R. Keep in mind, old school mgmt usually does a great job of documentation. So if you go to H.R. to complain about him\her. Then HR goes to him he will pull out a file about 2 inches thick of everything he has t/w you about. I wouldn't be surprised if he has sat down and had you sign papers re a failure to follow directions.

I've had mgrs\div mgrs who were very much like the person you describe. One of them got under my skin so much I filled out my own resignation forms and was within seconds of quitting myself.

Would I want to have another div mgr like I report to be like you describe... NO. Would I want a Supv working for me to be like this...... No. Keep in mind, the way you describe it. " These requests are usually due upon receipt because this manager let something slip by or isn't capable of producing the material due to a lack of skills." A manager is in charge of delegation of work and ensuring one way or another it gets done. They do not need to be able to do the work themself. The best advice I can give you is to do the job to the best of your ability. Meanwhile look for other jobs on the internal jobs website. While also looking at external jobs. If you decide to go up the food chain to show that your boss is "old school" it will be a tough fight for you to win, since many people above him ar old school too. [/QUOTE]
