I know there's plenty of frustration out there, so put it out there!
I'll start. The shame of it all is that i get along with my coworkers extremely well. Just the boss makes it all that much more difficult.
so just before lunch yesterday we have a staff meeting where my boss hands me this stack of calculations and tells me to look over them. Its pretty hefty stack, so i take my last couple hours of the day to start trying to figure out what is going on there.
on my way out the door to go home he stops me, and asks why i didnt tell him anything about it first. he goes on about so specific stuff and i say its not done yet, its a big stack. so he is says something about how its due today or tomorrow at the latest. i say that i have to be somewhere so i can't stay late (not technically true) and he tells me we will talk about it more when he gets in the next day.
today comes, im here at 7, he comes in at 945 or so. spends all morning on the phone, and then heads to a lunch meeting of some sort. so here it is again, like an hour before i leave and he isnt here for me to talk about it. so much for this crap actually being due today.
in case anybody asks, i have an appointment with someone again today.
