What can I do about working in a place with a poor IT manager/supervisor?
By ?working? I mean I do it all…ALL.
And by ?poor? I mean, incompetent.
And by ?incompetent? I mean, no knowledge of IT, no knowledge of management, and no desire to gain any, plus actually turning up to work is not only a financial burden to the company but a health hazard to me.
Yes, his mistakes have cost the company dollars, big dollars, and he?s hidden it well with lies and misinformation. The majority of the loss was time…something that an auditor can?t find on a financial database, and something Managment can easily be fooled by. At least ours can.
On a good side there is a new manager on the scene and he seems to be very switched on. I’m hoping to secure some time with the new guy and get him to see straight.
How can I make the top brass see that the guy needs to be fired? Or involuntarily retired?
There are many holes that need filling in the IT department?s ship. I?m trying my hardest but I?ve fun out of fingers and toes to plug them. The remaining holes are his responsibility and I can?t climb over the top of him to plug them, nor leave my own alone.
The ship is sinking and it?s the First Mate who?s going down with it. That’s not the way it happens in the movies!!
Can someone help?
…By the way…the “heath hazard” I suffered was a head injury.
It too cost the company money, but that wall needed replacing anyway.
