What to do with an absentee boss?
The adminstration never seems to notice his absence unless there is a meeting. He claims to be working from home so the absences don't show up on any attendence sheet because he doesn't mark those days as an absence. On these days you can't seem to reach him and nothing is getting done from what anyone in our department can see.
The people in our department are at wits end as what to do. We have been tracking days he is out and days he comes in late (ie 11 am) and leaves early (ie 4 pm) but don't know what to do with the information. It has been happening so much it has become a joke in our department but in reality it is getting our department a lot of heat for projects not being done and important decisions not being made.
To compound the problem he never tells anyone (even the assistant director) what is going on so we can't make the decisions. There are also certain jobs that only he can do that he refuses to delegate or train others to do. One of those tasks is phone support/installation and people have had to wait 2 months to get phones or change phone settings.
We are contemplating talking to administration about this but don't want the rath a boss can bring.
