Never a kind word

I've always said that when it comes to bosses, you either accept them or, walk away. It is not our place to try to change our bosses but more so to try and come to a happy and doable medium with them and your work. Today, I feel very hypocritical in that statement and wonder where it states, that your boss can treat you as dirt beneath their feet yet expect you to overlook their lousy personality over and over again. I don't expect my boss to hug my neck each day I come in but what I do expect is for him to treat me with the same respect and courtesy I try to show him each day and feel I have earned.

If I acted the way this man acts 99% of the time, my butt would be out the door - period. Another thing - I am so tired of boosting him up and making him look good all the time - work wise that is. He says it is our "duty" to make him look good and if we don't like it, well.......... Maybe it is time to let him make himself look good for a day or two. Kinda hard to want to make someone look good when all they do a lot of times is play solitare on the computer instead of working.

I am not the only one who notices this either. I don't know if it is because I work for a non-profit organization and the attitude is that we don't answer to folks like the for profit folks do. Bull, we should. I've decided that the majority of non-profits walk to a beat of their own drums and unfortunately, that beat is not always the right beat for their employees.

Guess I'll have to listen to my own advice and leave.
